Just wondering about printing techniques giving further insight to T206 page layout.

Yes Erick exactly. Have to look through my t206's to find other examples but not going to have a chance to do that until the weekend. It happens with some or the oranges too.

The gradient appearance would have no correlation to sheet placement in my opinion. The gradient is attributed not to the amount of red, but rather the colors under the red layer.

This Criger is an example of what I'm talking about:

The red fade from left to right almost makes it look like the darker red was stopped halfway across the card. I've seen Kling's with it too. Could it imply they were in the same column when printed?

I was wondering if we knew what sort of printing press was used and if that could help illuminate any info about sheet size etc.

I think it's by design. If you type in "t206 beaumont" on ebay, they all look like that. My copy does as well.

i sold this mcginnity via H&S a long time ago (wish I had not)... obviously missing red. Note that the "orange" is pink/buff and yellow... the green at the bottom is for a gradient look when the red is applied. Compare to when the red was applied:

Just bought this one. Seems like another Herman was next in line.

I've seen the Beaumont also and agree it could be by design. Since there are a few cards like this would it make sense that they are lined up in the same column?

Don't think so... see my previous post with the McGinnity.
