FYI - fingerprint .etf file information, get your own file to use as you see fit.

Making your own fingerprint cards for a Form 1 is a pain in the rear.   If you want to efile and submit a .etf fingerprint file with your Form 1,  it's pretty easy now to get your own file.   You can go to a place that offers a kiosk and it will scan your prints and they will send you a .etf file that you can use.

But, since I had the old school fingerprint cards and an ink pad, I used the ink and made a card like normal then I used my all in one printer to scan the card at 600dpi.  Then you purchase the conversion from the ETF Creator website, upload your scan and they send you the .etf file you can use in perpetuity for your e-form submissions instead of having to postal mail them a print card for each Form 1.   Took them less than 20 minutes to reply with the option to download my .etf file.

No connection to the company, I was just impressed with how fast and easy it was.  I just submitted my 1st form 1 with it and I gotta say that not having to make a fingerprint card and deal with the ink and then buy postage and mail the card to the ATF makes the process so much easier.   If you don't have the fingerprint cards already you might be better off using a kiosk service, but whatever you do, make sure they actually send you your .etf file so you can file on your own without them.

Now I wait for the form 1 approval.

I used Starr Fingerprinting LLC. It was $55, but I have the .eft file.
