Product Information

The characteristics of the ink used in printing the design are not likely to trouble the ordinary collector, but its colour is important. The colours in which stamps are printed often cause confusion to collectors, chiefly because there is no recognised system of naming them, even if we could be sure that any two collectors see the same colour alike. Modern papermaking techniques use a dandy roller to create the tracing pattern during the early stages of manufacture, similar to how a watermark is added to handmade papers. large holes- Perforation holes that are larger than other perforations-facilitates easier stamp separation.

Laid Paper: One of the two basic types of paper used in stamp printing. When held to the light, the paper shows alternate light and dark crossed lines. Modern production [ edit ] Visible laid pattern effect in a picture book illustration by Randolph Caldecott. Published 1887, digitally restored. When I began preparing my talk for ‘Materials & Objects’, I started to think about how I might bring paper, a relatively mundane material, to life. My initial reading on the craft of papermaking told me that despite it being a 2000-year old process, making paper by hand has changed relatively little between then and now. [i] Out of curiosity, I decided to do an experiment, and to see if I could replicate some of the processes of eighteenth-century papermaking at home, in my kitchen. The purpose of laying a paper is to make the information in the document available to the House and to MPs. You can request a digital copy of a paper from the Journal Office as soon as it's laid. Copies of papers should also be available in the Vote Office shortly after they’re laid. Putting a paper in the House of Commons Library isn’t the same as laying it.

Ink

In a wet state, the paper pulp (a dilute dispersion of cellulose fibers in water) is squeezed through a wire mesh to drain the pulp. During this process, a roller with a mesh pattern is pressed into the wet pulp, displacing the cellulose fiber. The amount of "size"—the binding glue, not the dimensions—in the paper and on the surface affect how well it holds water. It also determines how "toothy" the surface is, or how much texture it has. Thus one catalogue will describe the colour of a certain stamp by one name, while another will give a totally different description. Description in print is not of great assistance, but the Colour Guide is as helpful as anything at present available to the collector, as it shows 100 different standard colours or shades, and names them in a way that comes near to meeting general acceptance. Conqueror CX22. Ultra-smooth and lustrous, Conqueror CX22s low-friction surface produces a high-definition print result. Laying a paper in the House of Commons involves sending an electronic copy of it to the Journal Office.

The term "shade" also requires explanation. A stamp is printed with the fixed intention that, so far as is possible, every copy of it shall be in exactly the same colour and in the same depth of that colour. But printer's ink is curiously wayward stuff. Bond paper: This is the most common type of uncoated paper and is readily found in many offices, big and small. It is known as the economical paper or uncoated wove paper. This is the paper type commonly used for your fax machines or photocopiers. Recycled Statutory instruments: certain statutory instruments are required by law to be laid before Parliament. Paper: see Various papers under name or type of paper; 1: since most stamps are printed on paper, faults in the paper are sought by collectors as freaks or oddities, in some cases, the type of paper is important in the identification of some stamps.Clearly, this is paper that does not have the china clay coating or glossy finish on them. They are not as smooth as the coated papers, as it has a slightly grainy texture to it This is the most common form of paper found in your local stationery supplier and is ideal for use in laser printers and photocopiers. It is also the preferred paper type for business stationery and is widely used for this purpose. Uncoated paper is becoming more and more popular for the printing of prestigious brochures and catalogues for companies who want to give a more natural feel to their image but without the expense of recycled material, and for this reason its the best alternative for the coated art paper. This category of paper type is also available in several varieties such as: Laid paper Surface textures can be created by the mesh mold that paper sheets are made on or applied by a roller to machine-made paper. In both traditions, the laid structure in the paper forms because the fibers from the pulp that collect on the mould sink into the small spaces between the wire or bamboo, leaving fewer fibers on the protruding parts of the mould. This makes the paper a bit thinner in these elevated areas. Sometimes the pattern is more pronounced, but other times you need to know what to look for: a grid of strong vertical lines, called chain lines, divided by more delicate and plentiful horizontal lines, called laid lines. We call this kind of paper laid. When we change the angle of light and let the light shine through the paper, we create transmitted light—that’s when the chain and laid lines become clearly visible.
