Not sure if yours is one of the many brand-name printers which do this, but I made a few test prints the other day with my own HP color inkjet, and lo and behold, under a magnifying glass... tiny yellow dots. /[my paranoia]

I really think this shows the tru conspiracy where all LEO and prosecutor are in cahoots to get us all arrested for impersonating a LTCH holder.

Funny how people look for ways to screw themselves up. I have my original from 1995 still laminated as a memento. Copy- don't copy- it is your choice but if you are going to be that worried then pay the $20. Back when I was 16 I misplaced my IL D/L the new stated duplicate on it. I was warned not to use my original if I found it since supposedly that one was no longer valid and as IL used the D/L as bond for traffic stops back then it made sense.

The LTCH is just a pink piece of paper with no anti-forgery or tampering features so I say pick your choice and enjoy.

Myself, In my wallet id holder with no lamination and $20 won't break me if my wallet goes for a swim with my guns in a horrible boating tragedy.lol

I would have to be extra careful carrying while waiting for the replacement but still wouldn't lose sleep over it. :twocent:
