Solid iodine sublimes at room temperature, meaning it goes directly from a solid to a gas without melting. As a result, it does not stick to surfaces like fingerprints because it does not become liquid when in contact with the skin. When heated, the iodine turns into a gas, which can then interact with the oils and sweat in the fingerprint, making it visible.
