Here's a quick thought, although probably not very inexpensive. Have some 
custom paper done with a custom watermark in the paper - can't duplicate that 
can they 8)

And for what it's worth, anything you print on the paper can be found and 
duplicated - watermarks are highly unlikely to be duplicated even when 
detected. And even if you did random marks - you would have to know what page 
and where it was marked.

OF course you could always initial each one 8(

Good luck

hello;

the last six months i have been working on printing 30,000+ pages of
legal documents. this past weekend i started printing them. it occurred
to me that i should mark these pages in some manner to provide a way
that i can quickly ascertain their validity and that some lawyer did not
take 'creative license' with any of them. the first thought was to print
extremely small dots in yellow ink ( i am using a color laser printer to
print the documents ). the yellow ink would not readily be seen by most
people but would be readily seen under a blue light source. this proved
to be too time consuming. that was taking the printer 30 seconds to
print each side of the sheet of paper ( duplex printing ).

the next obvious idea is to use invisible ink, uv ink or ir ink. that
brings up the issue of marking 30,000+ in a somewhat random pattern that
would not be readily detectable by the average lawyer.

given the number of intelligent people on theforge i thought i would ask
here for suggestions for possibly making a uv or ir ink from readily
available ingredients or where to purchase such ink and how to apply to
the 30,000+ printed pages.

the long legal nightmare's 9th anniversary will be 26 nov 2005.
