I prefer the repro glass in this case, the skin tones look much more realistic than that of the original.

If you read this thread...

and see the posting by Clay (cfh), where he says...

About a month ago Steve changed the coloring process for the shine-through areas to have increased color saturation. Now it's very difficult to tell a silk screened BG from one of Steve's, even when lit up. The whole process has evolved and now I have to say, it's pretty darn good.

Its not rocket science even though they ( Clay and Steve here) pretend its some technical process they've been through to achieve a good result...... when printing a backglass you need to " double strike" the areas where the light comes through. printing ink is very thin and it washes out when backlit... 2 layers of ink and this is resolved.
I hate it when people talk bullshit and pretend they've done something clever
