I'll see what I can scavenge from the excellent Foxypreviewer as well, since it has had report watermarking for years.
One thing did occur to me: using vector images yields better quality in a report, but it's probably quite easy to erase a watermark from a vectorized image compared to a png or bmp that weaves it into the other pixels. Might have to change back to images!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
