List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots

Posted by Ali raza | 0 comments

Introduction


This is a list in progress of color laser printer models that do or do
not print yellow tracking dots on their output.


Limitations of this information


A "no" simply means that we couldn't see yellow dots; it
does not prove that there is no forensic watermarking
present. (For example, the HP Color LaserJET 8500 series does
not include any yellow tracking dots that we can see, but it may still
include some kind of forensic marking, since the majority of other
Color LaserJET models do. Other forensic marking
techniques have been invented, and we do not yet know how to
determine whether these techniques are used by a particular
printer.)


A "yes" simply means that we (or another source, as noted)
saw yellow dots that appeared anomalous to us. Until
we decipher the marking schemes or receive other confirmation, this
does not constitute proof that any particular kind of information is
represented by these dots. In a very few cases, for example, they
might be the result of a dithering
technique, rather than a forensic mark, or they could be the
result of a poorly calibrated printer. In most cases, we are
confident that the arrangement of dots is intentional and is intended
to track users.


Sources of information


We have employed three sources of information. We looked at
printer output under a blue light and/or a computer microscope; we
consulted press reports about printers (e.g. at Druckerchannel); we relied on
printer manuals and other manufacturer statements. We welcome
additional statements by manufacturers, resellers, or technicians.


Thanks to our friends at software firms and symphonies, public schools
and physics labs, semiconductor fabs and ice cream parlors, in about a
dozen countries around the world.
