Identogo blamed my fingerprints, but I knew they didn't do a good job. So, I called the FBI to inquire if I could fingerprint myself, and they confirmed it. I completed a couple of 258 forms using this kit, and it was incredibly easy to use. My fingerprints came out clear, and I didn't even use all the ink strips they provided. I suggest having someone assist you in keeping the form in place because it's easy to get ink everywhere. Alternatively, make sure to clean each finger with wet wipes immediately after taking the print. The ink comes off your fingers very easily.
