parkerlewis==> for me your card is true
they are 2 printing process ==> usa and belgium for old card (not same paper)
to see the 4th alternat not black light
the imprim are do with 1 printing (very often Not to say all the time)
the true card with 4 printing (cyan magenta yellow) + BLACK for text
the full black of textbox remove 95% OF FAKE
sorry , i'm french and my english is very bad
mon français est mauvais, d'accord?
#1 Parker, your card is real
#2 Over the years there were several printing locations: US and Belgium
#3 Alternate 4th edition cards do not fluoresce under black light, they are not worth a whole lot but cool
#4 ? The fake cards have 4 color fuzzy text
#5 real cards are printed using 4 color process (CMYK)
cyan = sky blue * magenta = bubble gum pink * yellow = yellow
these three colors can technically be "enough" but the black plate is needed to add punch and contrast to images.
the black textbox is a almost always a seperate process (black plate) and should look very crisp and clean.
#6 if the textbox looks "fuzzy" it's probably fake...
Followup on #4, he's saying that the counterfeits are printed in a single run, or more that they print the whole image at once. As far as I know, real cards print the CYK in a dot matrix layer, and then the black layer on top of everything else. This is why the black layer is so crisp, it's not printed with dots at all.
Well... I live in Paris, my name is François, and I spend like almost 100€ monthly on cheese for what is basically only my personal consumption.
If you'd rather send me messages in french chances are it'll be fine.
no , 3 layer , 1 by color
a "set" of 4 transparencies (blue / red / yellow / black) superimposed. It was this object which enabled the printer to create the original printing plates.
- a test print, derived from these transparencies, and done on a paper type photo paper.
Basically it is a test print allowing to visualize the final rendering.
the first test (alpha)- This first print test (alpha) was done at the time by Dave Howell (then WotC Production Manager) via a local printer in Seattle.
it is for 1 testprint but it is the same for the card
the black is full black , never pixelated
I put together a quick video after seeing some misinformation about fakes on Reddit.
Hopefully it helps someone else!
