Lip prints can be developed and removed from a crime scene to be analysed at a later time. Lip prints can either be developed by using fingerprint powders or chemical dyes. The aim of this project was to determine if lip prints could be developed on certain objects using different powders. The objects used were cigarettes, a cutlery knife, straws, drinking glass, glass microscope slide and paper coffee cup. Various fingerprinting powders were used to develop the prints on these objects
