Abstract
A fingerprint ink pad arrangement, for use in taking rolled fingerprints, includes an ink reservoir formed of a porous material positioned against the inner wall of a cup shaped housing with a tubular substantially noncompressible ink dispensing substrate formed, for example, of a ceramic or plastic, positioned adjacent the ink reservoir so that ink flowing from the reservoir travels through the substrate to the fingerprint area.
