The present invention is related to a deinking primer composition for deinking of a substrate, wherein said deinking primer composition comprises a binder component that has a polymeric backbone with pendent hydroxy or carboxy groups that have been esterified or acetalised or ketalised to such an extent that the binder component has an acid value of 0-50 mg KOH/g or a hydroxyl value of 0-600 mg KOH/g, preferably 0-400 mg KOH/g, so that a primer layer prepared from said deinking primer composition is dissolvable in an alkaline aqueous medium.

A method of generating artificial latent fingerprints for latent fingerprint development experiments includes: printing an artificially created fingerprint shape on paper for application to a target surface; thermally transferring the fingerprint shape printed on the paper to an etching plate by applying a certain range of heat and pressure to the paper on which the fingerprint shape is printed; forming a three-dimensional fingerprint shape on the etching plate by performing an etching process according to the fingerprint shape transferred to the etching plate; patterning the three-dimensional fingerprint shape formed on the etching plate with a molding member; and forming a latent fingerprint on the target surface using an artificial fingerprint solution from the three-dimensional fingerprint shape formed by patterning with the molding member.
