Current technology can digitally produce the plates on the press, with essentially no physical process. Or digitally done but off the press.
The early technologies to do this might explain some of the weirdness.
UV process free plates- Not on press 3M 1995, Kodak 2001. Both failures for a few reasons.
Digital thermal plates- Kodaks fist successful ones 2005 but there were others before that.

The earliest anyone remembers noticing them is 2002. Who knows how long before someone noticed them. For several years I tracked every sale of these and almost all come from the some area of the US. If you put a mark in the center all the cards sold in a area of 200 miles from that spot. The sellers would only have one of them.
