idk if this has been posted or if its already "well known" but if you dont know, this is some crazy shit.

ok,
what i just found out is that a large number of laser printers print a microscopic code in the form of yellow dots on everything you print. this code allows "the administration" to trace the source of a document back to the printer it was printed from.

so before you try to make counterfit money, or anything else you dont want traced beck to you, remember that.

Well obviously if you were to print counterfeit money you would unplug your internet connection first.
And what those microscopic dots can tell is just the type and model of the printer. They cannot tell its location.


AND THIS IS NOT A BAD IDEA

Old news actually. I last heard of this about 2 years ago.

Whew...thank god mines out of ink.

What good's the printer then?

*face palms*

This is a retarded idea. Anyone who wants to print something that would justify an investigation can just buy a generic printer. The only people this will track are the legitimate users.
