Yes, you can obtain fingerprints on the photocopy. The fingerprints you find will be of someone who touched the photocopy, and not of a person who touched the original document.

If fingerprints were visible on the original and then the photocopy was made, the fingerprints will usually appear on the photocopy as well but the quality may be slightly degraded.

Can fingerprints be obtained from a photo copy of an original document even if that copy has been handled several times?

John Boy, enter 'overlapping' in the keyword search and you will receive the information you seek!!

Seekers!!

This site has very comprehensive information on a wide range of subjects. You should use it appropriately through the keyword search capability. Your interest has probably already been addressed.

on a metal weapon with several sets of prints, can it be determined who handled the weapon first, second etc.. when the prints are overlapping and mixed together? or is it impossible to tell?
