I had no idea.

Why Printers Add Secret Tracking Dots

They’re almost invisible but contain a hidden code – and their presence on a leaked document has sparked speculation about their usefulness to FBI investigators.

This thing is real!

After reading up on this "microdot" stuff, I ordered a couple of blue LED light bulbs online. I received the bulbs today and tried it on a page of color printer printout, and I see these microdots.

I also looked at a page of black-and-white only printout, and there is no "microdot" that is visible to my naked eye.
