Cutting letters out of magazines and gluing them to a page is the only secure way to transmit information anonymously.

90s digital typewriters can store a page in memory and print it in bulk. Early teletype systems could possibly be used as well, taking serial ascii input

Use vintage manual typewriter. Buy ribbons on Amazon for $9.

Funny how many people haven't been aware of this.

This is old. Good news, but I remember reading this article before 2015. You can buy a monochrome printer if you're worried about tracking documents.

EDIT: More to this story:

Way older, I remember reading about this in the mid-90s. Answers the question why you need yellow ink to print black and white.

So just buy a printer with cash on a second-hand marketplace

Any secondhand printer is surely embedded with CIA u2 satellite tracking chips

This is how you run out of yellow and cyan printing black and white pages

So if you registered your printer with the manufacturer and/or use their printing app or software this makes it easy to track you down but for the most part I suspect it's for when they know it was you & just have to prove it, like if they have a warrent to collect any printers on your property, in which case a second hand printer doesn't help if you still have it or there is footage of you throwing it away.

But if you go to a printers or the library to print and pay cash, simply wait 30-90 days before using your print and the CCTV will be deleted but then you run the risk of employees seeing what you printed and remembering.

Any idea who the 'other manufacturers' are? Or maybe a link to the actual article?

Edit: a second hand printer would probably get around this pretty easy

Just buy an old AB Dick printing press. Easy to set up and operate, and if you get a 2 or 3 color one you can do multicolor prints.

I thought everybody already knew about printers having unique markers on everything they print that are used for tracking purposes. .
Yeah, obviously if you are going to do IRL activism like posting up or handing out antisemitic/racist flyers and the like, you better use a really old printer from a garage sale before you go fuckin around, or at least make sure the state you live in won’t give you a littering charge with a hate crime multiplier on top of it. I’m pretty sure the tracking shit dates back to the early 2000’s, so you’d wanna find a printer from the 1990’s to be safe.
