Normally the impression cylinder would be cleaned if a misfeed happened before feeding another sheet in to avoid the error reverse printing. This is most likely the reason for how detailed some wet sheet transfers are. Its because Tim's card is actually an impression cylinder transfer and not a wet sheet transfer.
Great post. This is my theory on the T206 back ghosts. Like Tim's card they are way too detailed for a stack transfer.
