There was another thread a bit ago where I showed how easy it would be to make a ghost or WST. I put the ghost of cobb on a regular white paper and then I did the test on a random 80s card.
I think the only thing that would give it away is possibly a black light (I didn't check that because I don't have one).

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. |
