Why are these so legally regulated?

>>514975627 (OP)
because you can print 1000s of copies of your message and throw them out while you’re driving on the main street of your city on a sunny day

>>514976051
>1000s of copies of your message

>>514975627 (OP)
How are they, I went to best buy and purchased one.

>Why are these so legally regulated?
They're not. You're just skitzo it's all in your head

a lot of printer brands no longer include a fax function, aside from Brother printers ... fax is an underestimated tool, it's a dinosaur but occasionally still super-useful
protip
print some colour shite once a week to keep the colours flowing, some internet ads or whatever
otherwise your printer goes bad from non-use

>>514975627 (OP)
Are they?

>>514976322
bullshit nigger, printers make microdots on everything you print so it can be tracked to the exact serial number of the device which it comes from

>>514976252
>>514976322
They are ALL watermarked. Everything you print is traced back to you. It's more reliable than gun serial numbers.

Modern printers are such a chore to use.
Some don't have usb ports anymore, and then it's software nightmare.
I just want to scan and print, not subscribe to regular new overpriced cartridges. I'm looking at you HP.

>>514976446
Fucking bullshit!!! I’m going to need to see some evidence

>>514976400
I just have a black and white Brother printer. Laser. Bought it almost 10 years ago. Never had a problem. When it ran out of ink the first time, I bought a giga ink-thing that can print almost 3000 pages, and put it in, and it's been working ever since. I print maybe once a month.

>>514976142
This is a good one. Also "islam was right about women" and "it's okay to be white".

>>514975627 (OP)
>yellow ink low
Problem, goyim?
;^)

>>514976446
>watermarked
Do you even know what a watermark is?

>>514976322
Every printer is required to spit out an identifying watermark to fingerprint the device that printed it.

>>514976426
are you dumb or just a yuropoor? Just go buy one from a flea market with cash

>>514976446
No it isn't. It's traced back to a specific machine. The police still have to prove that I'm in possession of that specific machine.

>>514975627 (OP)
I worked at a bakery with the printer in the front, I always had issues replacing the food coloring cartridges

Here's your evidence:

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

It's been a thing since the 90's.

>>514976322
>every printer is required to encode its serial number on every single print to be perfectly traceable
>they all need special image detection software to refuse printing if something unwanted by the goverment gets printed
...
>they are totally not regulated bro!

I guess you like paying for the most overpriced liquid in the world, printer ink?
Go buy a normal printer like Brother.

What the fuck

>>514976583
They print watermarks on everything. Is that pedantic enough for you?

>>514976400
I don't see the purpose of either printing or faxing.
Overhead costs too high, which is to be expected from a totally deprecated device

>>514975627 (OP)
asking the real questions for once, /pol/.

>>514975627 (OP)
makes a nigga want to construct and operate his own printing press

>>514976142
Imagine pasting that up in Brixton.

>>514976713
I've been using HP since the middle 90s, but when my current one will die I'll switch brand.
How is Epson compared to Brother, for simple consumer use?

>>514976600
What year did they start adding that to printers? Just out of curiosity. I am a vintage printer enthusiast and I love finding the loud ones with the holed edges.

>>514976400
emails did that though

>>514976400
Imagine feeding the inky ink jews instead of buying a black and white laser printer

>>514976400
forgot why i had to use a fax machine but it sure was neat. but it's basically the same as sending an email with a scanned image. and you can just use a camera phone to take a pic of a document anyways

I guess oligarchs want to print money, but don't want YOU to print money.

>>514976446
this is the shittiest recent conspiracy next to the vaccine garbage you retards push

>>514976811
Get a Brother if you do mostly B&W prints. You can get third party cartridges cheap without dealing with DRM or EEPROM chips that btfo your cartridges because you don't use them enough.

>>514976938
Allright, thanks for the info anon.

>>514976918
Counterfeiting money was just the excuse used to implement the tracking. The printers weren't good enough to print anything that would actually fool anyone when they implemented it.

They were more concerned about being able to figure out who printed manifestos and shit like that.

HP is literally a scam. I have no idea how they even sell these shitheaps. I thought it was just a printer but it was a Jewing machine. I returned it.

>>514976934
Retard or bait?

>>514975627 (OP)
because the govt doesnt want you to print money. they hate competition

>>514977059
How come they didn't get the Unabomber with this, then?

>>514976811
I have a 15 yo HP laserjet where I buy non-OEM laser ink , and it's been working like nothing else .
I even bought a 2nd identical used one as backup, in case this one dies.
However, anywhere else where you need something more modern other than just raw black-and-white printing , HP is an issue.
I have an Epson, and I have 2 Brother printers.
I like Brother better, because I can stick a cheap laser cartridge made by some non-brand and it just works, like HP did 15 years ago.
but YMMV.

>>514977123
at that point it's just low quality

>>514976446
>gun serial numbers
there is zero reason for serial numbers besides gun confiscation. they havent solved a single murder, ever. a barrel isnt "fingerprinted" to give each projectile a unique print. it's complete bullshit. when you know you know.
>muh special grooves
bullshit, and even if it were true, you could just get a different barrel. why arent the barrels the part with the serial number? because it's not about solving crime. it's about controlling you

>>514977079
I have a brother laser that I bought 6 years ago at a garage sale The toner was almost out and giving me low toner warnings...I still use it to print a few pages a week and it still gives me that warning. Did I find the lifehack of unlimited toner?

>>514976780
I have a laser printer that I pretty much exclusively use to print shipping labels and hard copies of my insurance for my vehicles (I'm not giving a cop my unlocked phone so he can check my insurance card)

>>514977272
So you have five printers at home, total?

>>514976414
governments fear me

>>514976851
brother makes the best printers. my brother laser printer lasted in the demo toner for about 10 years.

>>514976322
Retard alert

>>514977495
>So you have five printers at home, total?
If you don't own at least five printers, you're a poorfag and ngmi

>>514976507
Print exclusively in black. Your yellow ink will slowly drain and you will eventually have to replace the yellow cartridge even though you never use color

>>514976400
thanks for the tip, lol

>>514976252
Everything you print in color (and probably B&W too) has a dot pattern printed on it that uniquely identifies your printer.

Certain things that you can try to scan or try to print contain dot patterns ("constellation") that the printer will recognize and refuse to process.

And that's just in the Land Of The Free. I dunno what happens internally to printers in places like China.

>>514977495
Office (small business , ecommerce, lots of printing),
home office and home personal.

>Certain things that you can try to scan or try to print contain dot patterns ("constellation") that the printer will recognize and refuse to process.
any examples or proof?

>>514975627 (OP)
get a Brother

>>514977701
if you don't print often and a lot, just get a laser printer

You guys are all so naive you'll believe anything lmao. Literal goy cattle. They want you to think your shitty printer has a unique signature crafted into it, so you don't dare use it for anything antisemetic. The reality is that it's all just a bullshit scare tactic.

>>514975627 (OP)
With the correct ones, you can make fake ids, money, etc. they have to be monitored and be shitty, else the system will fail without some chain of blocks holding anon IDs to verify things on. But that be "communism" or something

>>514976446
so? buy a used printer or don't be a criminal

>>514977230
didn't he use a typewriter?

>>514976483
It cost me more to use a free HP inket printer for 2 years than it did to buy a laser printer

>>514977999
checked. this is 100 percent true. at best they grab actual fingerprints from these supposed forensics and pretend theyre some alien tech master genius race. in fact, they are incompetent money hungry kike lovers that will lie to scare you into believing they are superior somehow.

>>514976446
That is why you buy a printer at a thrift shop or small paki electronics shop in an old mall with cash or steal one. Easy solution. Only mongs with below 100iq would ever face an issue. If you plan to do anything “unapproved” with your printer, just steal it or buy it with cash. Watermark all you want jew

>>514976822
wtf kind of "vintage printer enthusiast" doesn't know what a dot matrix printer is called?

>>514977999
There are forensics to match prints with printers though

Xerox developed this surreptitious tracking code "to assuage fears that their color copiers could be used to counterfeit bills"[1] and received U.S. Patent No. 5515451 describing the use of the yellow dots to identify the source of a copied or printed document.[2][3] The scheme was then widely deployed in other printers, including those made by other manufacturers.
i have to wonder if there are actually any examples of some criminal being caught through this method though

>>514978185
jokes on them, my printer is b/w

>>514976051
What kind of message?

>>514976446
Unless you buy it on Craigslist or use a visa gc

>>514978185
also nothing in that wiki says anthing about a printer refusing to print a swastika or your latest HItler meme

in any case its easily to subvert the prints or hidden colors being connected to you
just buy a printer from someone else
the selling of printers to other people is not regulated at all

>>514978449
That part I don't believe exists; tracking dots are just an anti-counterfeiting measure

luckily i bought my laser printer secondhand from a jew so the serial number isnt tied to me

>>514978399
reality shuttering truths. Aoe for mob farming

>>514975627 (OP)
can we buy chink ones from aliexpress? i stopped using my printer when the jews forced a wifi connection and demanded i buy an ink subscription service

>>514977930
>get a Brother
good brand, would recommend, been a fan for a few years now

>>514978449
try printing the alien, I dare you

>>514978667
get a Brother laser printer
buy knock-off ("replacement") toner anywhere, everywhere

There's also the fact that even printer cartridges themselves for how often they are changed between models and manufacturers are another potential identifier. Even if your printers can't be traced to you directly and you're a ghost on the computer using airgaped devices for all your wirtong and designing the purchase of a bunch of ink carts for specific models as indicated by their dot matrix could still be tied to you.

>>514979633
The knock offs, half of them leak toner into the machine.

>>514979866
maybe your printer is half dead and 10 years old or something
I have never seen toner powder "leak" anywhere in my cheap ass basic bitch Brother printer
