| | Postage stamp separation: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Postage stamp separation |
 | | The finest gauge ever used is 18 on stamps of the Malay States in the early 1950s, and the coarsest is 2, seen on the 1891 stamps of Bhopal. | | | Imperforate stamps have been issued occasionally since then, either because separation equipment was temporarily unavailable (in newborn nations for instance), or to makers of automatic stamp vending equipment[?] (the United States did this in the 1900s and 1910s), as novelties for stamp collectors, or as errors[?]. | | | In the early years, from 1840 to the 1850s, all stamps were imperforate, and had to be cut from the sheet with scissors or knife. |

| | Postage stamp: more than the sum of its parts |
| | These stamps, printed on thin cardboard, were issued for use as paper money, but they were often used for postage. | | | In the past, many stamps were produced on paper bearing a security feature called a "watermark" that was intended to make the stamps harder to counterfeit. | | | Imperforate stamps, such as this Estonian 1-mark blue and black-brown Viking Ship stamp, have to be cut apart. |

| | Postage Stamp collecting |
| | Sheets of stamps are sold with 9, 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 stamps per sheet. | | | In the past, stamps were also cut or punched from sheets. | | | To determine the size of the perforation, you need a perforation gauge, which gives the number of holes in a 20 mm length. |

| | Gauge—Check the perforation gauge of the coil carefully using another stamp of the same gauge known to have genuine perforations. | | | This is because there are no 'cheaper' varieties of rotary stamps from which to manufacture phony rotary coils. | | | Keep in mind that a flat press sheet of stamps has natural straight edges on two sides of the sheet (usually 19 out of 100 for definitive issues). |

| | StampPrinters.info: Changing Face of Stamp Printing |
| | All you need to print stamps is a second-hand sheet-fed litho printing press, pre-press kit, a supply of gummed paper, ink to print with and machines to perforate and guillotine each sheet of stamps. | | | It would be rare (and brave!) for a new company to be formed solely to print postage stamps, as the market is not large enough to keep the presses rolling. | | | Generally, the smaller the country, the smaller the print run and so a set of commemorative stamps could easily be printed in a working day, say a couple of shifts. |

| | Errors, freaks, and oddities - Enpsychlopedia |
| | Mistakes smuggled out by unscrupulous employees are called printer's waste, not recognized as legitimate stamps, and may be confiscated from collectors; the Nixon invert is a well-known recent example of an apparent new error that turned out to be simple theft by insiders. | | | Postal authorities generally take some care to ensure that mistakes don't get out of the printing plant; to be valid, the EFO stamps must have been sold to a customer. | | | The authorities may attempt to lay hands on legitimately-sold errors, as happened with the original Inverted Jenny sheet, but usually collectors are smart enough to hang onto the windfall. |

| | Perforation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Perforations on stamps are rather large, on the order of a millimeter, in comparison with other perforated materials often have smaller holes. | | | Postage stamps are one common application of this, where small round holes are cut in lines to create individual pieces (see postage stamp separation). | | | Since the creation of perforation devices in the 1840s and 1850s, it has seen use in several areas. |

| | Postage stamp reuse -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article |
| | Some enterprising individuals discovered that the postmark (A liquid used for printing or writing or drawing) inks could be washed off the stamps, which set off a new round of experimentation. | | | As with the US grills, this scheme was abandoned after a few years, and the few surviving stamps (which are easily damaged by moisture) are somewhat expensive to collect. | | | This is still the most common method of stamp defacement. |
