There's only two kinds of blood, blood and menstrual blood, and as far as I know there's been no studies using menstrual blood.

So unless the gloves and/or surface had some form of dirt or oil or other sort of substance that would make a print form, if both were completely spotless, there would be no gloveprints?

Probably not. Fingerprints are left usually because skin has oils and sweat, which of course gloves wouldn't have.
