There you have it Daniel. Isn't that "I couldn't possibly comment" phrase a wonderful one - though here it doesn't get the FU (Francis Urquhart) inflections.
Anyway, I wasn't actually disputing that the Wincanton and Bath perfed stamps were or weren't digitally printed. What I wanted to find out was why the 'digital patrician' (year one, but released in year four) andthe Pseudopolis letters had a write up that suggested that these were different from what had been released back in 2004. The patrician seems to very very similar to the Wincanton perfed stamps. Similar enough to be the same, except there are some very fine detail differences, but these are perhaps a matter of opinion and me wanting to see a difference. The 10p greens are a different matter. One the three Pseudopolis letters there are three different printings. And despite being informed that the first letter had a digitally printed stamp, the letter I have is almost certainly an Enschede printed example. But the two other letters have stamps clearly from different sources. While both are Wincanton perfed, they are quite different shades of green, different resolutions, appear to be from different revisions of artwork, printed on different paper, and are different in size by about 1mm. Clearly these 3 stamps are from different printings. If the definitely digitally printed stamps can be from different batches, it is not unreasonable to suspect taht this may apply to other values too. And that what the shop was meaning to say by refering to 'original digital printings' in regard to the Pseudopolis letters was that these are in fact from different printings than the Wincanton perfed stamps released in 2004. There may have been other print runs, distuinguishable from each other, that have been all rolled up into a single lump and called Wincanton perfed. I really hoped Bernard may have stepped in to to explain what he had meant by stressing that these more recent issues were digitally produced. |

OK - I didn't say I couldn't possibly comment.
Just that I would be better able to comment if I could see the actual stamps rather than scans or descriptions.
Bring them along to Stampex Daniel and I will tell you what I can.

Wasn't the easiest way to distinguish Wincanton 'digital' printing from Norfolk digital printing just a question of looking at the back of the stamps? The Norfolk ones had a textured gum whereas the Wincanton version of digital printing was printed on a smooth surfaced gum.
