The purpose of this study was to observe the influence of adhesive force of lifter on powdered fingermark. First, an experiment was conducted to measure the adhesive force of five kinds of lifters. Second, each fingermark deposited on slide glass was developed using four kinds of powders. Then, these were transferred to lifter, and the quality of the transferred fingermark was observed. As a result of measuring the adhesive force of the lifter using the ASTM D3121-17 rolling ball tack method, the difference in adhesion between the lifters except the gelatin lifter was small. Also, it was confirmed that the quality of the transferred fingermark was not significantly related to the adhesive force of the lifter. However, if the quality of the transferred fingermark is not good when transferring to a gelatin lifter which is a lifter having a weak adhesive force, additional transfer is possible.
