Overall, this is pretty amazing news.
I've suspected a two color press being used for at least some T206s for a few years now. Many color missing cards are missing two colors, and where there are registration issues the colors are often well registered in pairs.
It's certainly not all of every press run, but that ALC did actually have a license for a multi color press makes one being used far more certain.
The closest I came in the past to even so much as modern style plates was ALC suing a couple guys from Britain for selling them a process for photographically produced plates that was apparently totally useless if not fake altogether.
