Absolutely. Sometimes even print dust can pull them up. But the best results come from iodine fuming.

Yes. Patricia Cornwall tried to lift finger prints off the Jack The Ripper letters. And DNA. Because of the age I don't think she was successful in either case. But yes.
Oh yeah to all you CSI groupies get a life. Half the crap on CSI is fake. What is with that spinning xray machine the coroner was using on CSI NY to look at the victim's skull? Garbage. CSI is the crime show for couch potatoes that don't know any better.

Not lifted, but if you put the paper in a container with certain chemicals, a coloring agent attaches to the oil in the fingerprint, and it appears. It can then be sealed and/or photographed.

Prints can be obtained from paper. Did you also know that when you use a copier machine there's a code embedded on the paper? Law Enforcement can look up the copier code and know where the paper came from. Don't believe me? Hold up to a light a piece of paper that went through the machine. You will a series of dots or numbers. That's the identifying code. A bit of trivia for you.

For fingerprints on paper a chemical substance commonly refered to as "ninhydrin" (Triketohydrindane hydrate) is used. This causes the oils from the fingerprints imbedded in the paper to fluoresce a bright purple color, called Ruhmann's purple. The other chemical commonly used is called "DFO" (1,8-Diazafluoren-9-one) which can be used alone or in conjunction with ninhydrin to produce latent fingerprints of higher quality. Once the latent prints are fluorescent, they are photographed for evidence.
