A simple workflow

From check-in to take-home kit.

PrintKit guides an operator through each step so community events move efficiently and parents leave with one complete digital record.

01

Enter child information

Capture the identifying details selected for the kit.

02

Capture a current photo

Scan a QR code and use a phone camera without cabling or transfers.

03

Scan all ten fingerprints

Use a supported HID DigitalPersona reader at the department PC.

04

Generate a secure PDF

Assemble the information, photo, and prints into a password-protected kit.

05

Provide the kit to the parent

Email the secure PDF to the parent or guardian, or print it and hand it directly to them.

Designed for department use

Focused on the kit—not the technology.

Simple operator steps, secure output, and practical deployment for police departments and sheriff’s offices.

Child PII is not retained on PrintKit servers.

The operator completes the kit during the session, generates the protected PDF, and sends it to the parent or guardian.

QR phone photo capture

Use a phone camera for a current photo, with the mobile page styled to the agency theme.

All-ten print capture

Collect a complete set with the supported HID DigitalPersona optical scanner.

Password-protected PDFs

Create a parent-held record with protection applied before delivery.

Agency branding

Apply department identity and a coordinated theme across the operator and mobile experience.

Department PC ready

Runs in a modern browser on a Windows workstation with the scanner client installed.

Guided operator workflow

Move through each part of the kit in a consistent, event-friendly sequence.

Optional DNA sample collection

PrintKit is designed to incorporate cheek-swab collection as an optional add-on. Swab kits are purchased separately; departments should speak with their sales representative for further information.

Straightforward setup

What your department needs.

A Windows laptop or desktop PC, one supported fingerprint reader, and a few minutes of local setup.

HID DigitalPersona 4500 reader

Windows laptop or desktop PC

A laptop is ideal for field use at community events, schools, and other off-site locations. A desktop PC also works; either needs USB access and a modern browser.

DigitalPersona Lite Client

The free local client connects the browser workflow to the fingerprint reader.

Printer (optional)

For departments that prefer to print kits and hand them directly to parents.

Internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot)

Required for the PrintKit web app, phone photo capture, and kit delivery.
