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.
Thanks guys! I was starting to think some of them were just for show.
Right on, hope you like it there. I have friends there but have never been to the N.W., heard great things.
You know me.
I never had a chance to do type setting. I ended my print career as a lead pressman on a 12 color, 6/6 40" Heidelberg.
