Missing red from the printing process or just faded?



Thanks

Hi Trae,
Your T206 Jennings, portrait looks a bit light (maybe faded). Hard to tell sometimes from the scans.
Here is a scan of a T206 Jennings, portrait that is missing some colors. You can compare:

Thanks, I did some adjusting in photoshop (color levels) and it still looks to me like the red is missing. Here's a comparison next to a well colored Jennings.



Any additional opinions?

colors go strong and light during the printing process.

I think this is just a card where they needed to bring up the red a bit (and probably did during the print run).

If the red was missing, I believe the background would have gone yellow (on the left) to very light yellow or whitish... but your card goes toward orange in color (showing the presence of red).

Looks like I could see some red in the cheeks too.

so I say not missing, just ran light on press.

jmho.
