It's no secret at all in this business that all color printers and copiers implement this to prevent counterfeiting, most people in the business can even tell you what's encoded on the page.

Thanks, EFF, for uncovering what could be found out with a phone call.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/17/yes-your-printer-is-spying-on-you-eff-cracks-xerox-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/17/yes-your-printer-is-spying-on-you-eff-cracks-xerox-printer/

It's been around for a decade. It's been public knowledge for a decade. And it's been cracked and spoofed before. Nothing new here at all.

All of our color products have had "fingerprinting" yellow dots. They even show them to us in the tech schools. No big deal,
unless you are trying to counterfit something, and the machines have technology for that.

In reply to #17 the docucolor 1250's counterfeit money protection doesn't work so well as we tested it when we first got ours. It refuses to print when you have money on in portrait but when you change it to landscape it prints fine and does a pretty darn good replication of it too. However when we tried printing scanned money with our docucolor 8000 it refused to print. (just a note that we were not printing mass amounts of money just a couple of test sheets which were all destroyed immediately.)]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/17/yes-your-printer-is-spying-on-you-eff-cracks-xerox-printer/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/17/yes-your-printer-is-spying-on-you-eff-cracks-xerox-printer/
