It's not blood. It definitely just looks like someone dripped the red ink on them lol. These were bought by my grandmother, put in the litte wax paper bag, and left there, until I unboxed everything about a month ago.
Interesting-- Since you have the sheet a plate position can be assigned and if a few more sheets made it through it could be a one day recognized error. Not sure who you would email a full scan plus the tight scan to to bring it to someones attention. Likely just be a minor but none the less an nice find.
yeah, I didn't think it was anything major, but it caught my eye going through all these. It definitely looks like the ink dropped after printing. The print is fully there, and then somehow 5 drops of ink was dropped on top.
When I used to work at a print shop and the press was going full tilt there would often be spatter from vibration and especially as the ink thinned from heat. Could have been sporadic throughout quite a bit of the run.
