Were T206's printed on sheets of 48 Subjects ?

Not to complicate things further... but an 'uncut sheet' can actually be a cut sheet - just not completely cut down into individual cards yet.


If I were to do a T206 run right now, you would see half of the sheet have backs, and half of the sheet have fronts. If you work and turn the sheet (run it this way with backs and fronts on the same side) - you can save money on printing plates and time. you run one side of the sheet.... then you just turn it and run the other side. The backs back up the front and the fronts back up the back... and the end result is finished cards.


Are there any uncut sheets from any prewar set that show the fronts and the backs on the same side of the sheet?

Thats how I would run it.


Of course, if they were unsure of the backs... or if the backs were all done in one color - it might make sense to print all fronts on one side - and then come back and print the backs (sheetwise printing)... leaving the flexibility to decide at a later time how you would like to print the backs on the other side (when you figure out what backs you want to print there).
