Obviously filing is a great way to remove fingerprints in green stuff but would liquid greenstuff simply fill the gaps between the prints making them easier to get rid of?

Well, sculpting tools are a good start if you're going to do a lot of green stuff work.
Remember to wet them, so that they will not stick to the green stuff.

Outside of that one trick I've picked up is wetting my fingers when I'm going to use them for GS work, as again it will prevent a bit of surface adhesion between your fingers and the GS. As you wet it down you can then drag it out and smooth it a bit easier.

I assume you don't mean the best way to avoid getting them in the first place...though next time, it is a good place to start.

Normally, when I have to fix finger prints for other people I use Apoxie Sculpt and their Safety Solvent (you can use acetone and I think I recall some people using water as well).

Mix up a little of the putty and then drip a bit of the solvent on it. Use a gloved hand to mix it together till it is a bit like tooth paste. With the gloved hand you can smear it into the ridges of the finger print. Clean up using a Q-tip and some more solvent to get it off areas you don't want it.

You can use aloe vera gel to lubricate your sculpting tools. Works great and it sooths those sun burns

I use a soft brush with water if it's still incurred. But if it's cured free stuff liquid grew stuff can work but I've found that it still leave brush strokes from the brush. I think the water and brush will work to blend it back together, but it might wash away most of the liquid grew stuff if you're not careful.
