Ted/Pat - you guys think the ink-shade differs from back to back?

The shade of Brown ink does somewhat vary from Brown LENOX card to card. This variance in ink color is typical in printing practice when printers have to switch to another ink color
from a prior press run to a new one. Such as my hypothesis in my previous post in this thread......
