It’s because it has to print a unique watermark by federal law.
Yep. Quit screwing around with color inkjet and get a cheap B&W toner machine.
Fuck inkjet. If someone gave me one I’d go Office Space on it and throw the remnants away so it can never harm someone else.
PC LOAD LETTER!?!?
I thought yellow was mainly used for that, and cyan was used to enrich/enhance the deepness of the black or something. I remember something about blues being combined with black ink for that reason at least. Either way, screw inkjets, all my homies use laser.
From everything that I’ve heard and seen, you are correct.
The hidden dot pattern is yellow - It’s the easiest color to hide. I’ve always heard that cyan is used to improve the black too.
Bit of a clarification, tracking dots is not a specific federal law, it is worse. Printer manufacturers voluntarily agreed to this deal with the US government and also agreed to keep it a secret.
That’s an American thing, isn’t it?
I had an all in one a decade ago (think epson?).
I couldn’t scan a document because it was low on some color.
You see, the ink helps the printer feel confident enough to scan your documents
