I stumbled across this link in the comment of another post, and thought it was super promising!

Someone mentioned something about in the US, this would be illegal due to DRM laws - not sure about the specifics of this, but regardless an open source printer seems like something we’ve needed for ages, as printers are something that always seem like way more of a headache then they need to be. It seems like such a simple technology that has existed for quite some time, but they are always such a pain to deal with. (Maybe it’s just my bad luck with printers?)

    It was a question. And wasn’t pen plotters since they can’t reproduce money, and are more rare for consumers

      Using the tool for illegal activities is illegal, owning a printer capable of producing fake notes isn’t.

        I think the original query was are these illegal to sell in USA due to not having FBI traceability?
