Good thing I live outside of the US then ;)
This looks awesome…hope they make it, I’d buy one if it isn’t toooo expensive.

Illegal due to US govt wanting discrete traceable patterns printed so they can track money duplication on colour printer or track Ransom letters?

I imagine that similar regulations exist in the EU. For instance, no copy machine will let you copy a Euro bill.

Yeah, that’s the anti-copy mechamism I recall reading about long ago. I wonder if/how this project will deal with that?

So what? Thats exactly why I WANT a custom built printer, fucking spying shits.

Where are you seeing that it’s illegal? I own a pen plotter that can print things without tracking dots and that’s not illegal. I don’t see why this would be any different.

It was a question. And wasn’t pen plotters since they can’t reproduce money, and are more rare for consumers

Nope, this was only done on laser printers and not all of them.
