      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.

      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.
