That's how the little paper in with the stamps read when I was sorting "offset" with a ?....Is it anything I need to note in my database, or does it matter much?
A nice clean image can definatly increase value and many will mount even a MNH stamp backwards to show the offset. One thing I have yet to see on here is an actual printed both sides stamp. I see the notation in Scotts with some hefty dollar signs but have yet to view one.
So, I hate to sound really ignorant here, but offset in these stamps (both mine and these above) is when the stamps have been together before the ink dries....However this is different from the "offset method" of printing, where there is flat/rotary/offset.
Those are methods....but the name "offset" is shared?
I hate to be so new to this, very confusing sometimes
Yes there is a method of printing called offset printing..and there are offset printing errors which occur on the stamps. Offset printing errors occur when some or all of a stamp design is transferred from one sheet to the back of another before the ink has dried. The images usually appear reversed on the back of the stamp.
