About finger prints

A rougher surface like skin or other surface which can with stand the strain caused by a touch holds your finger print.

That is why clothes which easily gets disturbed on touching cannot be used for getting a complete finger print or even a partial one. The finger prints left in them can not be used for analysis as well cause of the maze created in the clothes.

That is why finger prints are generally searched on harder surface then softer things like cloth and napkin.


PS: On looking closer one can and will find skin epithelials in clothes But since the Human skin's outer most layer is mainly of dead cells they cannot be used further for analysis
