DID you know if you make the watermark "light enough" you can print it 
out, but you cannot use a copy machine or printer scanner to copy the 
page and have the watermark show up in the copy of the page?

I did that several years ago, using a graphic editor to do the work on 
the watermark image.  Works great for detecting copied documents vs. 
original printed ones.
