New Technique Could Trace Documents By Printer

An anonymous reader submits "From this article at Purdue News, 'Researchers at Purdue University have developed a method that will enable authorities to trace documents to specific printers, a technique law-enforcement agencies could use to investigate counterfeiting, forgeries and homeland security matters.' The neat thing is that they are exploiting the characteristics of the print process itself to identify the printer." <update> One of the folks e-mailed me to say that the HP LaserJet 9000dn was one of the big ones tested with.

I'm still waiting for an apology from all those people who called me a conspiratorial nutbag for doubting the authenticity of those memos in the beginning. Of course I'll never get one, because it's against the Democrat code of honor to admit a mistake. "It's not our fault! Karl Rove did it!"
Pot calling the kettle black. How many times has Bush dodged the mistake question?
