Remember, unless you can scale this jpg correctly it will not be accurate. The pdf version is dead on.

sleepy: Do you mean Stanley Gibbons Instanta perforation gauge? Unitrade has been in business for around 35 years or so.

Skipper52's free PDF perf gauge has been posted on Stamp Smarter
http://www.stampsmarter.com/learnin...rfGauge.html

The printing ratio has been locked at 100% so users cannot mistakenly print in wrong scale and get incorrect measurements.

Singapore Scott 1a - 20a are an example of stamps which are perf 18. I guess there must be others. Not covered by the printed gauge above.

For Mr. Singapore I updated it to 18 perfs. I guess after this it's getting really small to read and you'll be on your own. Hoping Don updates the file today.

I bought the Precision Specialty Multi-Gauge. Apologies if this is a stupid question - but when trying to determine the size of the stamp image, do I line up the outside of the gauge frame line with the outside edge of the stamp image, or do I line up the inside of the gauge frame line with the outside edge of the stamp image? Thanks much!
