They're obviously good quality PDFs and when they're printed, they should look roughly or exactly the same.
In this group of ballots, I find that the quality is severely degraded from what a PDF would be, as if printed on demand, or if printed by your third party provider who prints these all the time.

My name is Eric Spikine. I'm a forensic chemist and a forensic document analyst.
That means I deal with all aspects of question documents, when they were made, if they've been altered, changed, or added to, and how long ink has been on paper.
I was asked if I had experience in election matters to look at primarily printing processes, machine copied marks, CPS code, which is a counterfeit protection system.
And I said that I did and I traveled to Arizona with three other people from my office that I had.
Number one is that there were a series of ballots that I examined the photographs of. And the Dominion, as the election subcontractor, produced ballots for each of the zones or districts that were involved, at least in the area that I looked at here in Maricopa County.
And there were 5,000 approximately, a little over, different ballots.
As you know, in a state, there could be two different senator races, there could be ten different house races.
And all the permutations and combinations is what gives you the 5,000.
So they create a final ballot for each one of these districts or zones or regions.
So that when you go in and you give your name, that knows you're from this area, you would get this ballot to vote on all the issues that pertain to you and only the issues that pertain to you.
And I found that there were about 25,000 ballots that were not printed from the official Dominion PDF ballot.
In other words, the printing process, appearance, is completely different than what you would get from a first generation PDF printing.
As you can imagine, the lines are perfect.
