It’s something else. I’ve seen legitimate green smears before and it never bleeds through to the back.

 

..thanks for the reply

 

That's not ink.

 

Judging by the picture, the "smear" color does not match the seal color. That is a stain of some sort. It did not leave the BEP that way.

 

Definitely something green spilled on it.

 

A leprechaun did it...

 

I have seen similar staining before myself and always wondered if it might be due to a bad wiper blade on the cylinder. I know it's not the right color but I have done similar mixing of ink in my prior business to get the ink the right color and viscosity. Any chance this one just got away from the inspection process?

 

I'd call it a PDM just looks like green Sharpie

 

Looks allot darker to me, so agree with
the previous answers in the post.
