What is a molded or embedded fingerprint that can be easily seen by touching an impressionable surface?

A molded or embedded fingerprint that can be easily seen on an impressionable surface is referred to as a plastic print. These prints are formed when a finger presses into a soft material, such as wax, clay, or some types of gel-like substances, leaving a three-dimensional impression of the ridges and patterns of the fingerprint. Because these prints are raised, they are often visible to the naked eye, making them easier to identify and analyze than other types of fingerprints.

Latent prints, on the other hand, are usually not visible without enhancement as they are formed by the transfer of oils and sweat from the skin onto a surface. Patent prints are prints that are visible but are formed from the transfer of substances like ink or blood, rather than by molding into a surface. Visible prints is a broad term that can encompass various types of prints that can be seen without the need for enhancement, but it does not specifically denote the three-dimensional aspect that characterizes a plastic print.
