yes, every machine produces a unique forensic signature, printers, scanners etc, even retail grade machines, it was a legal requirement introduced with the technology, it was felt that the superior quality of the printouts made it too easy to use in fraud and a unique origin identifier was required.
A Machine Identification Code (MIC), also known as printer steganography, yellow dots, tracking dots or secret dots, is a digital watermark which certain color laser printers and copiers leave on every single printed page, allowing identification of the device with which a document was printed and giving clues to the originator. Developed by Xerox and Canon in the mid-1980s, its existence became public only in 2004. In 2018, scientists developed privacy software to anonymize prints in order to support whistleblowers publishing their work.[1][2][3]

if you know how to read the marks on the authentic ballots,
you can spot illegal copies, they will have a different mark.
and modest, too.
