"Now I think that I've got it pretty good, presented on top of the former lines here and I'm about to find out how well I did. Now I'm pressing it down to make sure it's nice and sticky. There is quite a bit of ink on there now so it should be holding pretty tightly. I'm going to flip it over. Again, my paper isn't shifting because I've got sticky ink. So now I have it flipped over and I'm going to want to print. Again, I'm going to go through the same process of printing. At this point, I have so much ink on my paper, since we've been reprinting on it and we haven't given it time to dry. There it, there may be a little bit more difficulty in printing. Normally, I'd want to give the ink enough time to dry, so that when I try to print another color over top of it, I'm not competing with the wet ink that's already there. So let's take a look and get a quick impression. You can take a look and see how well you registered this print. And you can see that's not so bad. It's blue almost everywhere which tells us that we hit it on the nose."
