Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3331 Posts	Posted 12/26/2015 09:10 am The main question I have is: Am I seeing a thread or some lint or other foreign material between the Proof and the plastic? I am leaning towards strike throughs since there appears to be a shadow - especially on the one beneath the L. Any ideas? Report this Post to the Staff

The one above the head seems to have a jagged appearance along its edges and the one at the L appears smooth along the edges. Report this Post to the Staff

I'd have one of those little air blowers to get rid of the lint, if that's what they are. Report this Post to the Staff
