This isn't necessarily bad. It is made so forgeries can be detected.

Halfway competent criminals know how to prevent it. But at the same time, I am simply against any and all non-consensual tracking.

I have a similar stance on this as DRM.

What do you mean by non-consensual? You agree to the terms when you use that printer? I agree that I don't like either it nor DRM, but you have a reasonable ability to read first.

It is not a choice when there are no alternatives.

It also can't be used to track you if your printer is kept off the internet
