Which printers don’t leave dots?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

The EFF was attempting to keep track of this, but through FOIA requests they learned that every major brand uses dots.

People have been saying the "Brother" brand of printers don't have them, but I cannot confirm this since I never used them, nor do I have ways to detect yellow dots.

There are also programs that would add random yellow dots before you print it, so the yellot dot tracking would become useless since its flooded with extra yellot dots.

This would only work if you only send 1 page. Otherwise, they can likely compare the two and see where the dots are the same.

Monochrome ones.

Dot matrix doesn't have the yellow ID dots, but it is just dots.

well since the dots are yellow, a monochromatic printer is probably better ….

i’d say go with a laser jet black and white….

to be extra paranoid, you could print it on one printer, and then put it in another one and print light noise and their hidden stuff might overlap and fuck it up…

or, write it by hand and use a stencil.

they can even use word frequency analysis but i doubt they’d go through all that trouble unless you sound like you’re going to do something yourself. (or they might spare no expense to protect the capitalist oligarchs).

p.s. there will be dna too
