There was definitely green, so I figured they had used yellow and blue - but you're right, if they simply used green ink they could drop the use of blue altogether.

The latter printing does away with the blue plate in the printing process - in fact I think they've reformulated the cover plate to be red/green only instead of the traditional CMYK separation. <BR/><BR/>So they cut printing/ink costs in half. Probably many R&B books goy this treatment as they surely printed these little labels in bulk on a big sheet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
