Images:  The latent (left image) is a reversed ninhydrin print and the right image (known print) is an AFIS candidate retrieval.  Galton: There are at least seven points of identification that could be considered to be in common.  There are also many obvious actual differences.  Q & Q:  It is difficult to see Level 3 detail with pores non-existent in the AFIS image.  The position of the Galton points and the absence of some insipient ridges in the AFIS candidate should also serve as a red flag.

Images:  The latent (left image) is a black powder lift and the right image (known print) is an AFIS candidate retrieval.  Galton: There are at least six points of identification that could be considered to be in common.  There are also many obvious actual differences.  Q & Q:  It is difficult to see Level 3 detail with pores non-existent in the AFIS image.  The original images show that this is a good example of an elimination on level 1: the joint to delta ridge count is out of tolerance for clarity.
