Hello all,

  Looking for some opinions on when having a book pressed and cleaned should the process remove fingerprints? 

Thanks for any info!

Remember fingerprints contain oil. Dry cleaning is usually done in the white areas only as it may remove some color. So to answer your question, maybe.

The answer is more like "probably not". If it's a clear fingerprint - like the police would like to have - in an area with color then it's there and isn't leaving. The oil from fingertips has mixed with/softened the oil based printers ink and left a print. 

Smudges - as opposed to clear fingerprints -  can sometimes be improved

Fingerprints in white areas are more likely to be as much dirt as oil and can sometimes be removed.

Fingerprints are a lot like real estate. It is location, location, location. If they are on white areas a lot can be done. If they are on colored inks, and have reacted with the inks...little can be done at this point.
