The yellow dots requirement means you can't print black and white without yellow ink.

If the government is going to require this, they need to subsidize the yellow ink that I never use, but have to constantly replace.

Does it? Monochrome printers exist. It must either be the case that it's not viewed as necessary in this case, or there's some other way of encoding this information in black and white that color printers could use when not printing in color.

If you're never doing color prints, get a b&w printer.
