Bold of you to assume my prints come out the way they're supposed to.

From what I can tell from the article, that’s exactly the point. This is not about manufacturer-sanctioned intentional fingerprinting but about every printer making slightly different mistakes by accident that just happen to be consistent enough to be recognizable.

I have one of those generic chinese printers. Good luck printing anything on it.
