Printers Plates ???

[tagged]

I have a few Tyron Smith printers plates and have noticed that some appear as mirror images and others are the same as the card.
Shouldn't they all be the same ?
How do your printers plate look ?

The plates the same as the card would be printed directly onto the front of the card. The others 'mirrored' would most likely be printed on the reverse of a transparent stock eg acetate etc, so that it looks correct when viewed through the stock. Hope this helps.
