How to distinguish digital from offset print
Hello to all,
a collegue at work has a question : he is collecting Australia. In september 2000 a series of 16 stamps was issued portraying Australian gold medal winners. According to catalogue there are two versions, one printed in offset, the other in digital (whatever that may be). My collegue is not quite sure that his dealer gave him the two different versions. He now wants to know what details on these stamps will tell him whether it's the offset or whether it's the digital version. TIA Klaus |

The printing on the digital sheets is much coarser, when viewed under a magnifying glass, and shows the manner in which the colour patterns are built up. The offset (litho) printings, on the other hand, provide a very much cleaner impression. Please see the attached scans which I have made of part of the Ian Thorpe sheets. I hope that I have not classified these sheets the wrong way round and that it is indeed the litho print which provides the better image. I shall copy this message to the newsgroup without the attached scans, but I am happy to email them to somebody who is prepared to post them on a server for others to look at (combined size 320KB). Best regards, Roger |

Thanks to all who have replied, either here on the forum or directly
via email. My collegue has checked his stamps and he was happy to see that he's got both the digital and litho prints. Klaus |
