A method for use in print matching apparatus that includes the steps of: enrolling (200) a print of a user; extracting (210) a set of matching features from the enrolled print; comparing (220) the extracted features of the enrolled print to extracted features of each print in a set of reference prints, wherein each reference print in the set is from a person other than the user, and determining a highest non-matching score; determining (230) at least two minimum and maximum threshold pairs based on characteristics of the print matching apparatus; and storing (240) the matching features of the enrolled print, the highest non-matching score, and the at least two maximum and minimum threshold pairs for use in verifying a subsequently captured print of the user.
