  This paper provides a technological evaluation of two Automatic Fingerprint
Identification Systems (AFIS) used in forensic applications. Both of them are
installed and working in Spanish police premises. The first one is a Printrak
AFIS 2000 system with a database of more than 450,000 fingerprints, while the
second one is a NEC AFIS 21 SAID NT-LEXS Release 2.4.4 with a database of more
than 15 million fingerprints. Our experiments reveal that although both systems
can manage inkless fingerprints, the latest one offers better experimental
results
