"Have you ever wondered why your printer is always out of yellow ink, even when you print only in black and white? There's a reason why this always happens."

"Typically, each time you print, your printer creates a series of dots all over your printed paper using only the yellow ink. They're small and hard to spot with the naked eye, but they're much easier to see with a black light."

"Every single time you click print, it does this. It's why you're always out of yellow ink, and it's why your printer refuses to work even when you're only printing in black and white. It's a requirement for your printer to work."

"These dots work kind of like the way a QR code does. It essentially creates a picture with information, metadata, embedded in the way the dots are arranged."

@revoluciana I'm sad that everyone is missing the distinction between "at least some printers encode identifying information that will bring the cops to your doorstep" and "just about any printing method can tie you to the printed output if the printing method is found in your possession by the cops and compared to the output." The latter risk has existed since the printing press was invented and the solution is just as old: burn/destroy the type or the press after the subversive print run.

@revoluciana My own theory-crafted favorite printing device for subversives is a late-20th century IBM Wheelwriter daisywheel printer. They were sold in huge quantities, they're still fairly easy to find, buy, and repair, it's not that hard to kludge them to a modern computer, and the print wheels are common enough that you could pitch/replace one after a sensitive print job. https://www.ebay.com/itm/388144628860
