I cannot stand to look at it anymore. Someone who still cares should have it. It is the only one in existence.

Wouldn't a printing plate be reverse image? Or is it on the other side?
Nice momento.

Big web presses are offset, so the ink is transferred from the plate to a rubber surface and then onto the paper. So the plate never really came into contact with the newsprint.

If you're doing a traditional print like an etching, litho, woodcut etc... the image is drawn in reverse as the paper makes direct contact with the art.
