Can fingerprints be forged

Are you asking if someone can leave your fingerprint somewhere on an item that you have never touched? No. A trained qualified fingerprint expert will recognize that the latent print does not look right. One guy (Alfred Wehde) wrote a book back in 1924 claiming he could do this, but every forged print was recognized by the experts. It has of course been tried since then, but has not been done successfully. I don't know if you can fool an automated reader, but that's why people make the comparisons instead of computers....
