Relating to the recording, analysis, or study of fingerprints and their patterns in forensic identification.
From dactylography + -ic (relating to). This adjective emerged alongside forensic science development in the early 20th century.
Dactylographic databases grew so sophisticated that by the 1950s, police could narrow down suspects from millions of people using just a partial thumbprint left at a crime scene.
