Hi, I want to add smt to my store but I need confirmation before I'm doing
smt wrong here. I've bought this head some time ago with this sellers info..."Missing
final stage print". But now I'm looking here and I can't find a magenta
version with white ink as a first stage.

Knight Min146

and

Huntress Min095

are the closest modified heads I can find with a similar pattern, but with a
different base color then white. I'm not a minecraft fan at all, am I mssing
a figure in the database with this white print?

Cheers!

most likely is from them as lego will often do sub-layers of print so the colour
is more visible so even if the "top" colour isn't white it still
can be a layer

I know they put each color print in steps but it doesn't make much sense
to me to make a layer that on the end product isn't visible, not sure how
under a tan print a white print can make the tan print "more" tan. But
these days much weird things going on in the world we don't understand :'
But thx for the assist tho

The pink colour would otherwise shine through the tan, so the resulting effect
would be a pink-tan colour mix. This effect is reduced by the white layer underneath.

If they are printing a lighter colour on a darker part, then it makes sense to
use a white undercoat. That way, the print looks more like its intended colour
rather than the part colour showing through.

In the series, let’s make “dad jokes” in French: the primer is called “apprêt”
and that word sounds exactly like “après” (after), so you need to “apply the
after before.”

I’ll see myself out….

That has to be related to "prêt"

Yes, verb “apprêter”: make ready (“prêt” = ready)
