T206 Printing Question
 

Was Pink a seperate color from Red in the T206 printing process?

From what I can tell there was a pink color and a seperate red color... is that everyone elses understanding?

Thanks
Jamie

See T206 Resource site: http://t206resource.com/Color%20Process.html
 

The color process was yellow, black, brown, blue, green, red. See link below for details:

what about Pink? I have cards that show shifts in ink (not all layers lined up properly) and it looks like pink is definately a color in the process... I dont see pink listed on t206 resource..?

Here is the card in question... Trying to find out how it can look like this? is this faded? or missing color? the card on the left has a yellow background... and then you can see a pink layer on top of the yello which creates an orange tone... but clearly much different than the normal version of the card.... any help explaning this is appreciated..

It looks like the card is missing the red (final step in the color layering process). What does the back look like? It looks like the card may have been hand-cut from a sheet before it went through the final color layering process.T-206 Resource gives a great description of how the colors were applied during the printing process and I believe they have some images of cards that missed parts of the coloring process. Your card looks somewhat like a T206 Frank Chance portrait (red background) that was also missing the red that I believe they had an image of. Good luck!

There are other colors but don't remember where i saw it. It was a t205 and t206 picture showing the different colors. Don't remember who posted it but i remember there was a pink, light blue, and buff color i believe.

Yes, that was me. There is pink and red. And two blues, and a tan/gray pass as well.

Definitely they had a pink/buff layer. Great card Jamie.

Thanks Guys.. That was my understanding as well. Just wanted to make sure I had it right.

You are right
 

You've got it right... I've got a card with buff and missing red. They were definitely separate colors.
