According to Frank, there are no such thing as wet sheet transfers.

I am sure there is no such thing as a wet sheet transfer. They don't exist...This non-wet sheet transfer came from the Mike Berkus collection....

Cool! I definitely prefer an inadvertent color run or "monoprint" type example over a wet sheet transfer.

Oh, there are definitely wet sheet transfers. When I was making prints I even made some, inadvertently, by stacking the latest print off the press onto a prior print before the prior one was completely dry. Leaf made some real beauts in its postwar baseball issue. I have a great Spahn red ink transfer and a Van Der Meer with the card back nicely transferred to the front.

Having silkscreened thousands of posters, I can tell you this certainly happens when you stack wet posters together. Certainly the same goes for offset prints.

This one goes with Leon's....



Be well Brian


PS If ScottieB post his we'll have all 3....

Respectfully, what Leon and Brian have posted aren't wet sheet transfers.


If they were transfers, the wet sheet would have the image and type correct, and the card onto which the transfer occurred would have the image and type mirror-imaged. What Leon and Brian have posted shows those player names correct. Those aren't wet sheet transfers. Those are examples of where the blue process was printed onto a sheet on the blank back side, then the black ink back was printed over that.

Neat printing errors, but not wet sheet transfers.

I don't think they were being displayed as such. Leon noted they were "non wet-sheet transfers". Just a single color (cyan) run on a random scrap for sure.

Edit: unless that was sarcasm, but I thought it was obvious they weren't since the writing is correct.
