TouchPrint™ 5100


Scans finger images at 500 ppi or greater than 1000 ppi.



The TouchPrint™ 5100 fingerprint scanner scans finger images at 500 ppi or greater than 1000 ppi. With advanced imaging power and anti-smearing and antismudging technologies, these fingerprinting solutions exceed FBI standard requirements.

Superior Fingerprint Images from a Stylized Device

The sleek, compact design of the TouchPrint™ 5100 can be conveniently stored and used as a small desktop unit or transportable unit. The patented optics ignores moisture, dirt and latent prints left behind on the platen, making it easier to capture high quality images– consistently – regardless of the challenges faced, such as dry or sweaty fingers or an unclean platen. “Best in class” in image capture quality, rather than “good enough” is the choice to make in deciding which live scan to use in accurately
identifying people.

Powerful Imaging Technology

  • Scan resolutions available in 500 ppi or at more than 1000 ppi (exceeding the FBI certified requirement)
  • MegaView camera system provides 50% more pixels compared to conventional scanners allowing for greater image detail.
  • Designed to eliminate variability that directly impacts image quality: no moving parts, no pads or coatings.
  • The patented Moisture Discriminating Optics™ ensures 1000 ppi details in pores and no obscured ridge contours.
  • Lightweight, compact design allows for ease of use and storage


High Quality Fingerprint Capture and Images

Image quality is critical for live scan systems. Poor quality prints cannot be used to correctly identify or verify a subject on the first submission. Although other components of a live scan system are important,(e.g., transmission, interface capability, operability and price), image quality can be the most important consideration. If the image quality is poor, AFIS rejection increases dramatically.

The TouchPrint™ 5100 provides the image clarity needed to prevent artifacts and capture important friction ridge detail. This model boasts high dynamic range sensor results in maximum contrast and gray scales, bringing out the minutiae and pore detail in the fingerprint image with virtually no distortion, which makes the image ideal for latent print comparison.
