If so, it wasn't the first time it's happened. I'd offer a list of
Indian States that used water-soluble inks, but it would be rather long ... Tony of the Antipodes rodney wrote: You're kidding us, right? "Blair" The stamps were printed with water-soluable ink. Oops! 8^) Blair |

Such inks were used in stamp printing to prevent erasure of cancellations and reuse of stamps. Aniline inks are very sensitive and may dissolve in water or other liquids or chemicals. Aniline Ink: A water-soluble ink with a dye base that runs when wet. Some of the first Australian commonwealth issue (post 1918 Harrison printings) had deep analine shades. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...210/75thin.jpg Australia Roo 10/- Gray + aniline http://www.richardjuzwin.com.au/plug...listing919.jpg Victoria - postage due. blue + deep aniline.

It also allowed for much brighter shades of ink. Blair |

I was mainly interested in the Indian birds set. so the reason was water soluble ink. "Blair" On Jul 9, 4:25 am, "rodney" wrote: You're kidding us, right? "Blair" The stamps were printed with water-soluable ink. Oops! 8^) Blair I kid you not. Here is one example. |
