How to Use an Inkless Memory Print Kit : A Step-by-Step Guide

Creating a lasting keepsake with an inkless handprint kit is a simple, mess-free process that captures precious memories with ease. Whether you're preserving a baby’s tiny handprint, a pet’s paw print, or a loved one’s fingerprint for personalised cremation jewellery or memorial jewellery, our guide will walk you through each step.

Step 1: Prepare Your Kit

• Lay out the special coated paper on a flat, clean surface.
• Ensure the hand, foot, or paw you’re printing is clean and dry.
• Open the inkless towelette provided in your kit.

Step 2: Apply the Inkless Wipe

• Gently wipe the inkless towelette over the area you wish to print. It’s safe, non-toxic, and leaves no visible residue.

Step 3: Make the Print

• Press the hand, foot, or paw firmly onto the coated paper.
• Apply even pressure without sliding to prevent smudging.
• Carefully lift straight off to reveal a clear, detailed print.

Step 4: Let the Print Dry

• Allow the print to air dry for a few minutes. The inkless formula ensures it is smudge-free once dry.

Step 5: Photograph Your Finished Print

• Use bright, natural lighting to avoid shadows.
• Hold the camera directly above the print for a flat, distortion-free image.
• Ensure the photo is in sharp focus to capture fine details.
• Crop the image to highlight the print, removing unnecessary background.

Step 6: Uploading Your Image

• Once you’re happy with the photograph, save the image in a common format like JPEG or PNG, most phones will do this automatically.
• Visit our website and locate your order page or upload section.
• Click “Upload File,” select your image, and confirm the upload.
• Double-check that the image has uploaded clearly before submitting your order.
• If you have already placed an order and we are waiting on your photo, please email hello@thicket-memorials.com and include your order number & name. We will email you back to confirm that we have received your image and give you an update on timeframe.
