[QUOTE="scoutshouse, post: 1081043, member: 267"]Hi [USER=10963]@Loz591[/USER] If they are copper or steel etchings (intaglio/gravure), there should be an impression from the paper being forced into the etched lines (besides the edge of the plate). You might feel it from the back. A stone litho lays down ink on the surface of the paper, so the back should be relatively smooth. Those two printing methods leave plate impressions, which can be easily simulated by decorative print purveyors. I honestly don't know what you have :)[/QUOTE]
