I have been using a website to look up a lot of my stamps and the term "Imperf., joint line pair" keeps popping up. Does anyone have a picture example of this.
I keep reading different explanations, but apparently I need a visual aid!
A joint line pair is a pair of stamps with a thin line between them. When the stamps are perfed, the perfs usually run right along the line, like this:
If this piece was imperforate, then imagine it with no perf holes; the line is still there between the stamp images. These lines appear at regular intervals with certain types of rotary printing presses, when ink collects in the joint.
You're welcome, David. It's a bit ornery to start with, the way it loads "folders", takes a bit of work to feel comfortable with. Just watch out for the "picasa originals" file, it can grow huge in the background.
If you take an image, deskew it and "save", it saves a copy of the original unskewed image in that folder. From time to time you may wish to delete those. Good luck.
