Fri 17:31:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR2〗 │] They include a feature called Machine Identification Code or MIC. The printer synthesizes a pattern of tiny yellow dots onto every single page. They are less than a millimeter wide and invisible to the naked eye, but if you put them under blue light or magnification you can see the grid.

To be truly anonymous you need a black and white only printer or a dot matrix printer which do not use this technology.
