Ink Small Round Pad

The Identicator Ink Small Round Pad is the standard-issue fingerprint capture tool for law enforcement agencies, correctional facilities, military identification units, and civilian background check processing. Whether you're conducting arrest bookings, personnel vetting, or forensic documentation, this compact pad delivers consistent, legible prints on standard paper every time. Its small 6.35-inch diameter makes it portable enough for mobile booking units while remaining large enough to produce clear, arrestable-quality impressions suitable for database submission and criminal history records.

The pad features a hard ceramic surface with engineered micropores that allow ink to rise consistently to the surface, eliminating the dry spots and uneven coverage that plague traditional felt-based pads. This ceramic construction ensures sharp, black fingerprints with high contrast and scannable resolution—critical for AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) submissions and archival records. The formula delivers fast ink transfer without excessive saturation, reducing smudging and ensuring crisp ridge detail capture on the first roll. The 0.9-inch depth provides professional-grade durability for high-volume use in busy intake facilities.

Law enforcement professionals, military personnel, and corrections officers rely on this pad for rapid, reliable fingerprinting in field and facility settings. It is compatible with any plain copy paper, cardstock, or standard fingerprint cards, making integration into existing booking workflows seamless. The compact footprint fits easily into citation books, portable booking kits, and emergency response bags. For agencies processing high-volume prints daily, the ceramic surface's resistance to wear means fewer replacements and lower per-print cost over time.
