    Tracking microdots on printed output


    I know that color laser printers leave yellow microdots on printed output that contain the serial number of the printer as well as the date and time the document was printed. These nearly invisible microdots were decoded on NSA-owned documents that government contractor Reality Leigh Winner printed and sent to Intercept magazine in 2017. But what about inkjet printers? Are microdots left on output from an inkjet printer?

    :)

    Hi,

    For better assistance, we'd like to get the following information:

    • Did the issue start only after you have downloaded the Windows Update?
