The cover paper is printed using stencil printing, resulting in a retro, woodblock print-like aesthetic. Slight misalignments or faded areas are intentional, contributing to its unique character. Areas with multiple colors may show more pronounced print variations. Please enjoy these artistic nuances. *If you are sensitive to minor printing inconsistencies, we advise against purchasing. Such variations are inherent to the printing process. The inks used are semi-water-soluble, so rubbing strongly may cause color transfer. Please be aware of this.
