Subject:Re: Stopping photocopying, take II From:Paul Branchaud <paul -at- ZKS -dot- NET> Date:Tue, 26 Jan 1999 12:26:28 -0500
With regards to the issue of limiting photocopying...
I was informed a few years ago that a major coffee company (which will
remain unnamed) printed their procedures and recipes on a special paper
stock. This stock, when photocopied, printed a special code that identified
which store had released the proprietary documents. Although this does not
prevent photocopying, it does help to identify the source of your "leaks". I
believe that cheques can carry security features that prevent or deter
photocopying. Of course, speciality papers will cost more...
Therein lies the extent of my knowledge of this subject.
