Finally gave up on trying to find someone to scan/print fingerprint cards for me. Bought myself a Sirchie porelon pad and got to work. Took me less than an hour to do 12 cards. Not too bad for my first time I think, and completely by myself, no card holder, nothing.
Has anyone else done home rolled prints and gotten any kicked back? Done lots and had no problems? This sure as hell beats $10/card at the sheriffs office.

Home rolled for my first and so far only submission. It went through just fine.

I just did a half dozen of them the other night, I have a holder and using the sirchie perfect print pad, in fact I have a few extra pads I need to sell....
But I have never had any rejected, I also can do them on my laser printer if I want to. I have only had one set done at the police office, then have been doing them myself for quite a while now, I also do prints for other guys when they need them. |

(I do recall throwing away a bunch of old ORI print cards at one point) I would guesstimate at this point I have submitted probably somewhere around 100 "home rolled" individual print cards to the NFA branch for F1/F4 applications at this point. |

Two cards per submission. Yup, two per application. I am somewhere in the mid 60s in terms of approved application, with another half dozen-ish currently pending. I probably have another 6 or 7 double stamp guns over the years where I had to pay a F4 transfer just to get a gun to my dealer. It wouldn't surprise me if I have written close to 75 x $200 checks to the NFA branch in my lifetime. While not $20K...its still a sizeable number if you add them all up. However, if you divide it out over18ish years its less than $1000 per year in NFA tax payments per year, so it not that bad all things considered. |

I’ve always rolled my own. I’m LEO so access to ink and a printing stand have never been an issue for me; however, I’ve rolled the past four or five sets of prints from home on my kitchen table. Never had an issue with anything being kicked back.

$1k per year? I bet that's still less than most peoples' fancy coffee habits at $5+ per cup. Far less than a pack-a-day smoker. The actual stamp cost isn't all that bad and as you mentioned is probably less than many folks annual pumpkin spiced mocha frappuccino outlay. Unfortunately, from a total spend perspective the true cost including all the hardware that the stamps supported would probably put me more in range of a full blow coke or smack addict. I take consolation in the fact that the majority of my capital spend in this area has not been sent to "money heaven" like a boats, ATVs, golf clubs, iphones, etc. would have produced The silencers are probably a sunk cost but the machineguns easily pick up the financial slack for the less that financially advantageous acquisitions. I guess its good that at the end of the day I have no significant regrets, as I just put in an order with the ATF for 20 more FBI print cards yesterday. I was down to my last set and they just got sent in for a Blackhawk Miniboss transfer. |

I just had 2 Form4s approved this month and both had home rolled prints (my first attempts). I bought a $6 ink pad from amazon and filled out 4 cards. Take your time and it's no big deal.

I did my own for my first NFA submission last year without issue. I got a Lee inkless pad which worked well. The card holder definitely helps doing it alone but isn’t a must.

ATF website says local law agency must do your prints:
https://www.atf.gov/explosives/qa/how-do-i-get-my-fingerprints-taken I’m about to set up a Trust. How would the atf know if my prints are home brew, or done by the sheriff? |

As long as the prints are readable, they don't care who takes them, I have been doing mine and other friends for a long time now.

I let people know, all the time, about rolling prints and passport photos. Especially, those with post 41F trusts, for the RPQ.
They act as if it's some huge hassle when, in reality, it's about 10min of effort. |

I'm very fortunate in that the university police do it for free for employees. They've scanned my prints a few years ago, and so any time I need more, I just bring them the FBI cards, and they print out as many as I need, with my info auto-filled. Just takes a few minutes.
