<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 129984, member: 66&quot;]No it is not a &quot;bleed through&quot;&nbsp; There is no such thing.&nbsp; The ink is not that thin and the paper is not that absorbent.&nbsp; Notes like that are formed in one of two ways.&nbsp; Either an incompletely dry note transfered its image to the sheet behind it while the were stacked, or a sheet fails to feed in the press and the printing plate transfers the ink to the &quot;backing board&quot;.&nbsp; Then when the next sheet enters the press it gets intaglio printed on on side and offset printed from the ink on the backing boad on the other side.&nbsp; As each subsequent sheet is printed, the offset printed side gets fainter and fainter untill all of the ink is gone.&nbsp; The only problem is tha there is no way to know which method actually caused it because both methods result in the exact same image.&nbsp; The reverse image is transfered to the front of the paper and is then overprinted by the face printing.&nbsp; If the facei mage is seen on the back it is always printed on TOP of the back printing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
