T205 Print? Oddity

That's a great explanation Ron. I think what you describe as an "impression cylinder transfer" would explain these.

Yes they are. Most likely discarded due to the impression cylinder transfer, but really cool if you ask me.

[ullmandds]

Hi Tim, Those are exactly what i'm talking about. Usually after the error reverse is printed, it removes nearly all ink from the impression cylinder so the next sheet that passes doesn't show the error. When setting up the press, it would be adjusted so exactly enough ink was transfered to the sheet per pass. Thats why we hardly never see over inked cards.

Those are incredible looking cards. I'm not too much of an error collector but would probably go after a Hal Chase Blue if I had the chance.

Truly an example of why this board is so great. Great thread
