In this first in a new series of videos in which I will cover the fundamentals of philately, I talk about the four major methods of printing postage stamps and how to identify them. A stamp collector may have identical looking stamps which are in fact 2 different stamps printed at different times by different methods. It's important to be able to recognize the different types of printing in order to properly identify the stamps in your collection.

Ted, I've been going through your video catalog and wanted to let you know how useful they are. I appreciate the time you put in to make these videos and cognizant of the benefit I derive from them with minimizing wasted time, with mistakes avoided and with money saved. I have written you down in my "to do list" to set something aside for you with my next upcoming quarterly bonus pay. I'll figure out how to use your "$ Thanks" icon. Again, your videos are a real benefit. Keep up the excellent effort. With regards, Hans

Excellent video, thank you so much, Ted! Just the other day (honestly) I thought I should learn more about printing methods, because one encounters mention of printing method used for stamps frequently, and I am never EXACTLY sure what each is. And here you teach us about just that. I am looking forward very much to your next "Stamp Collecting Basics".

Hi Ted! Great video as always! I actually just wrote an article for a stamp newsletter that features the Apollo-Soyuz stamp that you showed. Happy Stamping!

Thanks Ted! Ever thought about doing a video on identifying the different types and printings of Machins?

I hadn't thought of it. It'll require a lot of study, but I can try.

@@tedtalksstamps I know just trying to figure out which Machins are Photogravure and which are Lithograph are enough to make me pull my hair out. And then there's those phosphor bands if you want to go crazy.

great vid as always. Would be interesting to further focus on printing stamps in the last few years. What differences do they do and printing from photographs too not only by drawings. Another facet would be the types of paper used and whether they used acid free paper from the beginning.

Hi Ted, really disappointing to open new year sets and see the disappearance of beautifully engraved stamps.😢 Thank you for the wonderful presentation. Best, Bill P.S. Enjoying the travel channel.

@tedtalksstamps 2 ай бұрын

I share your feelings. And when you do come across a new engraved issue, it will undoubtedly be from a laser-engraved die, which does not come close to capturing the character of hand-engraving.

Great presentation Ted. Could you have a look at inks and paper and the effects on these materials since 1840. I'm. Always surprised when I soak stamps old and new that the water and detergent I use have no obvious effect on ink or paper. Cheers Peter from Aussie.

Good question, and something I've wondered about myself. It's tough to find detailed technical information like that, but I will work on it.
