T206 WST vs Bleed Through

Okay, I get it but then again I don't get. Look at this one. The blue on the front is lighter in the areas where there is blue on the back. It sort of looks like a WST transfer of itself. Yes the two images are the same card, so to speak.

Neat Frank,

Speaker would have been located in the same spot on a sheet when these were printed and stacked....another Speaker was laying on top and one underneath this card. Possibly due to pressure (hand, weight..who knows) some of the wet blue background ink transferred from the tops to the back of the card above it...up and up for a few sheets.

Just my theory

Yep, that's what happens. Weight on the stack, first sheet gets a nice transfer, and it gets less obvious as you get farther down the stack. How far depends on the stock, how wet the ink is, and how much weight. When I leaned my elbow on the stack of stuff where I worked I wrecked about 2-300 sheets

That was thin stuff and came off the press about 2-3 minutes before.
