Well, yes, but if they display it full size, you can always screen-grab it.


You could also print to a virtual printer (or Postscript/PDF creator)
and then reprint the captured file later.

It's impossible to make it impossible to print something more than
once. You can make it difficult, but if you rely on it being difficult
as a method of validation then all you do is encourage people to
explore ways of defeating it.
