The designation “board break” refers to the error resulting from a partially broken impression cylinder. An impression cylinder forces the unprinted currency paper into the intaglio recesses of the printing plate. The impression cylinder, or rigging, carries a wooden external wrapper; rigid enough to ideally sustain the workload yet pliable enough to squeeze the currency sheet into the plate.
