If you are interested in something specific, like current US stamps, look for a specific site, like the USPS site. Or look for books on philately in any decent library. tjr |

If you are in the US, visit your Library
and find Vol 1 of your standard Scott Postage Stamp Catalogue. In the preamble this book gives a wonderful pot-pourri of information regarding all things postal, print proceses included. Here is an example from my grey-haired 1976 version. http://cjoint.com/data/fEd0DoHrMK.htm HTH "Sam" wrote in message oups.com...

If you have access to a major stamp
catalogue (eg Scotts or Stanley Gibbons) there is usually a section in the beginning describing papers and printing methods. (eg lithography, typography, photogravure, engraved, embossed etc.) Blair |

Williams. This book may be too expensive for a casual read and look up, but a book may be found if you search your library or get an inter-library loan. ======================= Tracy Barber ----------------------- adirondack-pc ----------------------- "Freebie Stamp Project" ======================= |
