Interesting with line engraved a crease will maintain its original print generally, with typography and esp photolitho, the ink tends to lift at the crease line. Chalky paper images get ruined with a crease.
Rod222, appreciate what you say but after very careful re-examination of my Western Australia One Penny, imo the creases were in the paper 'prior' printing. I have a few Aust' 1d KGV that have pre-printing creases exactly the same as the W.A. 1d. Using old damaged spares and introducing creasing, the difference between 'prior' and 'post' is obvious.
