is an INCREDIBLE
EXAMPLE at an AFFORDABLE
PRICE SOLVENT SMEAR “The designation
‘solvent smear’ is a misnomer. It belies the true cause, as the error actually
represents heavily diluted ink-not solvent-which smears. The mistake occurs
when an excessive amount of the solvent solution reaches the printing plate.
Unless the reciprocal wipers extract the excess, the residual solvent dilutes
the consistency of the fresh layer of ink. The watery ink produces a blurry,
hazy, and indistinct image on the printed design.” this is a R-3 Mistake as explained on
pages 24-26 of United States Paper Money Errors by Dr. Frederick J.
