Undocumented Printing Error?
2 2

57 posts in this topic

I had been reading a post by @Dan'el about Fantastic Four issue 201 where the upper right corner should clearly be red but is actually yellow. An obscure printing error and neat to see.

Well, I was flipping through my collection, doing some sorting and noticed another book with a similar flaw...Devil Dinosaur #3. The bottom right hand text bubble should have a red background but it ends up that the section is yellow. I borrowed some pics from ebay. There are two I can see for sale, one graded one not.

The rest look like this, with the background of that bottom blurb correctly coloured.

Just thought I would share since I could not find record of it :)

There's also a little bit of blue vs grey going on at the top right corner above the masthead too. Lots of printing issue variations with this issue...

No red ink  

Red+Yellow = Orange

When the red ink is too light, it'll turn orange color

If that's not it then, there's something wrong with the printing plate

Black is running too light, either the ink fountain is running low on black or the press operator needs to adjust the ink keys to put more black on the paper.
