Rolled impressions are taken in what manner?

Rolled impressions are taken individually because this method allows for a clear and distinct capture of each fingerprint. By rolling one finger at a time, the examiner ensures that the entire surface of each fingerprint is pressed and rolled against the ink or imaging system without distortion or overlap, which could occur if multiple fingers were done together. This practice ensures that each fingerprint is accurately represented, which is critical for identification purposes. Taking impressions individually helps maintain consistency and accuracy in the fingerprinting process, allowing for reliable comparison and analysis later on.
