i guys...Was looking at the new booklet and a couple of things stood out.





Why on the printers alignment gauge is the black leaf the only one with another design in it...???...as shown below..




And one of my stamps looks (looks) like the blue is printed off the stamp..see below




Also on the front of the booklet it is the first time I have seen the perforation coming through the other side...see below

Hi Wert

if you zoom enough you'll see the design on the black leaf

https://www.postescanada.ca/shop/st...ecution=e1s1

the other glitches could be produced by a bad calibration of the press/die cut machinerie. It could be also errors, damaged booklet or totaly normal depending of the lowes martin printing processes. We will see with time if the problem occur enough.

Welcome to the forum fbissonn
I know there is a design in the black leaf...Was just wondering why it was there or better still, why don't the other colour flags have the same design...

thanks a lot :-)

I'm just guessing, maybe it's to indicate this booklet has been printed as a Lithography in 5 colors.

wert,

If you look closely, each leaf is different from the others... it might just be that the selected design for the black leaf has a kind of "hole" in the form of a down pointing arrow.

Wert that looks like a post production scratch.
Mabe better get your fingernails trimmed.


I agree with pepere_jack in that each leaf is different.
Someone just wanted to be "cute"

I'm more interested in why they show 6 colour leaf icons
each supposedly representing one ink printed
but state in Details that printing was 5 colour litho.
So we have 2 shades of red, 2 shades of blue, 1 yellow
and 1 black.

The last blue flag is the one chosen for the flag it looks like to me.

Perhaps the other flags, all different I agree, are other designs shown for the flag, but the last one with the longer stem was chosen?

I thought the arrow was perhaps a Lowe Martin design or logo but I didn't see it on their web site. A seisgner's mark ?

That's interesting wert.

Then why show two blue leafs?

According to my eyes the left blue is just a touch deeper blue.

With the two reds you show, I believe the one on the right
is a deeper(darker?)red.

According to a nice Antigonish spokeslady the Uncut Press Sheet won't be sent out until March 2.

The blue leaves are different to me also.
Left one is brighter and the right one is darker.
