Most 'backward' ones are for Finest type cards because it is printed on the back of the acetate.
Ah, that makes sense. I always wondered about the normal vs. reversed plates and meant to ask this question.I think it has to do with what it's printing onto. I know that Bowman plates are the same picture as seen on the card, while Bowman Chrome plates are reversed.

I believe the ink is transferred to another roller before being applied to the paper. Most 'backward' ones are for Finest type cards because it is printed on the back of the acetate.
I can't believe after all these years you remember I was in the printing industry. How's it going?

Close, but the ink rollers never touch the paper. The paper in offset printing is contacted by a blanket. It is ink rollers to plate, plate to blanket and then blanket to paper. You are correct on the 'backward' plates for printing on the back of acetate.
