Before printing a series of prints I often test different types and thickness of paper.
These prints are Ok in that there's no errors in the printing, they just didn't make the final series.
They have all been signed and will include a certificate of authenticity.
 
This print is available in the following paper types. Reasons for seconds listed:
Awagami Kitakata (36g) green. A thin Japanese tissue-like paper which works well with detailed lino prints. This seconds print had a slight lino block move in the press
Shiramine (110g) A thicker Japanese paper. These seconds prints have very small ink marks on the paper background and one has a small paper rub on the edge
