As early as October 15, 1885, less than two months after the first of these cards was issued on August 24, C. C. Woolworth requested a change of color from brown to black, claiming that the base color of the brown ink is vermillion which attacked the metal plates and brown ink clogged the fine lines of the engraving. Trial color proofs were submitted to the Postmaster General on January 11, 1886.

Scott No. UX8TC.
USPCC No. S7TCm; $3,000.

Much difficulty was encountered with the ink used in producing this issue of cards, all of which had a tendency to clog the fine lines of the design and blur the finished product, thus requiring far too frequent washing of the plates. The rapidity with which this blurring occurred is illustrated with a series of production specimens using various commercial inks, including those produced by such well known firms as Johnson, Morrill and Wode.
