Stupid question that I can't find an answer to on the search via my phone.

Do I have to use the atf provided cards or can I hand write the atf info on the box on any card?

Doesn't matter. Just need the correct ORI.

But the cards are free and usually arrive within a week, so just stock up on some.

Thanks for the quick response.

My father has some FBI cards from the airport police with a blank ORI so he could use that. He can hand write the proper ori info.

Thanks again.

Qucik google search shows Office Max, Staples and Amazon as the top three hits for "finger printing ink pads". I cannot vouch for the quality of those sources, though. My prints were done professionally.

Yep. Nothing new. I did a little bit of a how-to in the 41F sticky: here (https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?186089-Work-In-Progress-new-F1-F4-guide-for-41F-submissions&p=2345177#post2345177) it is...
