• The resultant images will be lighter and the NFIQ quality scores
will improve.
VERY DRY FINGERS
• Result: Images take several seconds to appear or contrast appears
lighter than desired.
• Solution: Rub a small amount of moisturizer on the fingertips.
(Do not slather.)
• The resultant images will be darker and the NFIQ quality scores
will improve.
