Were PIEDMONT 460 factory #42 & UZIT backs printed simultaneously ?

[Abravefan11]

Ted - I too am only discussing the backs of the cards and I believe there are three key points to answering your original question:

"Does this suggest that the UZIT backs and the PIEDMONT 460/42 backs were printed simultaneously ?"

1) I do not believe there are two color variations of Uzit, just differences in the amount of the same color ink applied. The image I included in my post above hopefully illustrated that point.

2) Unlike the Uzit backs, Piedmont 42's were printed with two different color blue inks.

3) A comparison of the Uzit subjects to the light P42's or to the dark P42's show that the two were not printed simultaneously.

You included a lot of great information in your post but I don't believe there are any connections between any of the stated facts that would change the three points I posted above.

I hope that helps.
