Marketplace prints dried overnight without a second pull
Secondary NFT volume sat like a sheet on the line: wet in the evening, dry by morning, no second pull required.

Secondary NFT volume overnight sat like a sheet on the line. It went up wet in the evening and came down dry by morning. No second pull. No rush reprint.
This press does not treat that as a collapse and it does not treat it as a party. It treats it as a proof. When the line is full of ordinary sheets, the shop still runs. When a collection actually needs a second pull, this desk will say so.
What dried
The usual marketplaces printed fewer tickets than a loud week, and the tickets that did print were not concentrated on one name. That is the whole file: the shop stayed open, the ink stayed in the trays, and nothing on the line asked to be pulled twice.
If tomorrow’s sheet is louder, this press will hang a louder proof. Until then the note stays on the drying line.
