So apparently every laser printer prints small, almost imperceptible yellow dots in certain patterns on every document printed. Each one is a certain code that has the printers serial number and the time of printing, and the original purpose was supposedly to fight counterfeit money being printed.

They've also used this technology to identity serial killers.

I only use my home printer once and then throw it away for a new one so they'll never catch me.

Note to self.
Print ransom note somewhere, then copy it through 10 different copy machines

Also couldn't you just take the yellow toner out? Problem solved.
