This thread got me thinking about how easy it would be to make a freak. At the very least a WST.
So this morning at work when our printer was idle I ran a very quick test. I used a cobb t206 portrait and printed just the black layer.
As soon as it came out of the printer I put a piece of paper on top and pressed down on the wet ink.
Here is what I got:
The scanner I had quick access to didn't show it very well, so I took a photo with my phone. The photo isn't great but it gets the point across.
The left one is the first press. The right one is the second press. I looked under my loupe 8x magnifier and didn't see any discenrable printing pattern due to it just being a wet ink transfer.
My thought is that if it only took me 10 minutes to do this, how many "Wet Sheet Transfers" could be fake. Or maybe other t206 printing anomalies.
