Here are some interesting pictures from the 1920s:


An unprinted paper roll on the right is wound out and upwards and left where it is wetted and then goes down to press into the printing plates on the cylinder and then the printed stamps go up to the after printing heater and around to the right and out down under. The roll on the left wipes the printing plates.

The long flat section of the press where the printed and gummed stamp web is dried by the driers.

Part showing ink trough and ink roller on printing plates and printed stamp paper roll after being printed by printing plates.

View of ink trough above and gumming station below. Looks like printer is controlling pressure roller according to how the stamps rolling off the printing plates look.

Great pics jogil, thanks for showing.
Yes these pretty ladies do look Swedish.



What year where all these photos taken?

Curious as to which stamp(s) were being printed on these pics.

jogil, could you perhaps explain what stage of the printing
each photo represents.

Hi jogil,
Thank you for posting, is there an attribution(s) for these images?
Don

Thank you jogil for annotating the photos.
Makes it easier to understand the different stages
as the web of paper moves through the press.

Wonderful thread,
thanks for posting.
