Kerik Kouklis mentioned seeing pretty bad registration on some old prints, too, but he thought it might have been unintentional instead of intentional. I have yet to see misregistration that is effective, IMNSHO. I quoted that in an early Post-Factory -- and who knows I may even find it in the index, which I have around here somewhere. In any event, that could be why you didn't *notice* misregistration (unless you tried an eraser on it, which might not fly at GEH). J.
