Comment on An open source repairable printer.
TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 days agoWhere 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

Using the tool for illegal activities is illegal, owning a printer capable of producing fake notes isn’t.

I think the original query was are these illegal to sell in USA due to not having FBI traceability?

I’m saying no. I could find nothing on the books that prohibits specific printer tech or mandates hidden tracing be added for it to be legal.
