multicolored stamps. It is quite true that two-color stampsand perhaps three-color stamps have been printed fromsteel-engraved plates. But on all such stamps there isno positive register of the colors—nor can there be. Theprocess of wetting the paper, often required for steel en-graving, and the consequent shrinking of the paper doesnot permit a close register of two or more colors. (See"The wonderful Giori Press" on page 157 ) Relief printing in all of its forms, however, does notrequire the paper to be moistened, so exact registeringand even blending of colors may be obtained. In colorthe relief methods of printing remain supreme andhave been widely used under various names and methodsto fill our albums with many colorful and beautifulstamps. |
