So im taking another look at moving some stamps to new pages and came across these listed as Sc595. But I think they might have been in the wrong spot. I measured both designs as 19 x 22mm and perforated 11. I think they may be Sc554?? Would someone be willing to check? I hope I have this right!! Thank you.

This question builds perfectly on your recent thread of flat vs offset.
From the catalog, Scott 554 is a flat plat printing.
Scott 595 is a rotary press printing.
Seeing the red ink set-off on the back side, what conclusion should you draw?

Also the guide line proves that stamp to be a flat plate stamp as well.

I would say flat plate. I was hoping for a confirm to make sure I was on the right track. Tks.

Ha - guess they were both in the wrong spot as they were together.

I feel like I'll never get all this! I saw the guide line, but it didn't register. I think I need to slow down and smell the roses. Thanks for the follow up and pointer. Wm.

Get a Precision U.S. Specialty Multi-Gauge. It makes quick work of rotary vs flat plate determinations.

Yep, got one. But being new to these and all the different varieties and the fact that they were in the wrong spot, makes it a little more time consuming. For me anyhow.
