<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1346121, member: 6986&quot;]Assuming the error is genuine, this description as to how these errors happen is incorrect.</p><p><br /></p><p>As RickieB notes, this would be a full offset error.&nbsp; The backs of notes are printed first.&nbsp; One side of the sheet is contacted by the intaglio plate.&nbsp; The other side has a cloth piece behind it.&nbsp; If the press cycles without a sheet the image is transferred to the cloth sheet.&nbsp; When the next sheet comes through the press, the image that was transferred onto the cloth is then imprinted on the other side of the note.&nbsp; In other words, the sheet has the correct image on the back and a reverse image of the back on the face.&nbsp; The first sheet will have a strong image and on the subsequent sheets it will be weaker until it disappears altogether.&nbsp; The face is then printed over the reverse image of the back of the note.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you will see a what appears to be a crosshatch pattern in the offset error.&nbsp; This is caused by the weave of the cloth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
