Episode Goofs

While looking at photos from his past, Dexter flips one of the photos over to reveal a small black smiley face. The photo is supposed to be from Dexter's childhood and yet it's printed on HP photo paper, as apparent from the watermark on the back. I don't think HP made photo paper in the 70s/80s.
