Count me as a total disbeliever. You can go to any store and buy a bottle of the blackest india ink and a stamper of Bugs Bunny and stamp any paper item you want and I fail to believe the ink will penetrate to any real depth and still retain such clarity after the topmost layer is pulled away.

Furthermore, the ink on the paperloss area seems darker to me which I would expect from a stamp applied AFTER the paperloss. The interior of paperstock has a rougher more absorbant texture without the same smooth finish as the outermost layer. If you've ever used a marker on a cardboard box you know the general look of the how the ink "sticks" differently to the place where tape or a sticker was ripped off. I would only expect the ink on the paperloss to be darker if it were applied after the fact.

How could ink penetrate to that depth and still be clear and dark with the outermost layer pulled away? I just don't think it could be!!
