Depends on the copier. Most cheaper modern copiers use a digital printer-style
engine to generate the copies, so you will see the pixelation at high
magnification. However older ones transferred the image non-digitally, and many
newer copier-only models also still do, i believe. I'm not sure whether the
magnifying glass would help you identify copies from them.
