Abstract: A method for obtaining a fingerprint and for making an ornamental article having the fingerprint includes sending a kit to a customer including a photo reactive medium and receptor, so that a person can create a fingerprint on the receptor. The fingerprint is received from the customer after the fingerprint is created using the photo reactive medium and receptor. Using the photo reactive medium and receptor allows the fingerprint to be easily formed and sufficiently set, with a high amount of detail and accuracy. Further, the photo reactive medium and receptor can allow for a printed created to not be compromised between the time the fingerprint is made and the time the fingerprint is received by the ornamental article manufacturer.

Abstract: A method for obtaining a fingerprint and making a fingerprint ornamental article includes sending a kit to a customer including a thermoplastic medium, so that a person can imprint a fingerprint, and receiving the fingerprint from the customer after the fingerprint is imprinted onto the thermoplastic medium. Using thermoplastic medium allows the fingerprint to be easily formed and sufficiently set, so that the fingerprint is not compromised between the time the fingerprint is made and the time the fingerprint is received by the ornamental article manufacturer.
