Kevin, I see what you're suggesting, but wouldn't a very thin ink penetrate through the red ink and not necessarily pool atop the red? It's obvious that the red ink is dark where contacting the black.

Also, in Jon's photo above -where the black ink didn't absorb indicate that the old adhesive was once there or at least suggest that permeability was impossible in those spots due to the adhesive absorbed into the fibers prior to the cigar stamp?

Phenomenally clear pictures by the way. Steve F



Edit to add brightened picture to show that the red ink is far more concentrated with pigment.
