Latent powder and magnetic powders have been the choice of fingerprinting experts for years. Select either black, white, bichromatic, fluorescent red, fluorescent green powder and more, depending upon the latent surface.

Use white powder on dark surfaces and black powder on light surfaces. Bichromatic powder is useful on light and dark surfaces. Fluorescent powders work well on wooden surfaces, such as rifle stocks and wood paneling. They can also can be used with filters and UV lights. Add $1 for fluorescent powder.

You have a choice of magnetic powder instead of traditional powder. Magnetic powder is applied with a special magnetic wand instead of a brush.

We also carry fluorescent powders which are applied with either a magnetic wand or a feather duster. Fluorescent powders are used in conjunction with a UV light and goggles, usually orange.
