You live in the era of home printers that can crank out hundreds of pages an hour. And these folks are worried about a printing press?
Are the federal agents comic book villains in disguise?

old printing presses don't have a serial number encoded in the yellow dots that color digital printers and copiers print.
List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots

@rayckeith @GutterPoetry Oh yeah, there are definitely some theoretical anonymity benefit to the old technology. Except for the fact that the police obviously managed to find both the printing press and take all of the people into custody, so it's not that effective.
Likewise, the very fact that you used a printing press almost makes it easier, not harder. It's like committing crimes in your pink Lamborghini, your obscured license plate is not really going to save you

Who, with at least two brain cells to rub together, uses a *colour* printer to produce a samizdat?
Part of the literature "house style" is to look like it was produced on a 1960s spirit duplicator, complete with onion-skin blotches. -
