Thanks Jonty. He has still got a long way to go and while we are looking forward to getting him home we also know it is going to be a huge strain on my Mum.
A few stampy things have slipped already (The personalised Penny Jacks for example! Sorry!) but I have talked to Alan this morning and I think there are still a few things we can do for this year once everything has settled down.

Ditto. Family first. Everything else will fall into place on it's own.

Thanks folks. I am now very aware that I have railroaded this thread into a personal discussion and away from the original topic - so apologies for that. Admin will not be happy ;-)
So to reroute the discussion back to printing of stamps in general - and not just DW output...
Some cinderellas in my collection are cheaply printed yet I put them above others which are beautifully produced because they are more interesting to look at. So - is the quality of printing really important when producing a stamp, or is the idea behind the stamps more important?

In my opinion you need Several thing. The design idea has to be interesting; the actual artwork well executed and the printing to be as high a quality as needed to show the first two off properly. Great art badly reproduced will be awful and poor art well reproduced will always be poor.

I think that it's equally important that the stamp in question relates to a subject or theme that you find interesting... I wouldn't buy a Cinderella stamp just because it was a Cinderella...

I think it depends on the subject. There may be times when being cheaply printed, or having cheaper paper contributes to the look of authenticity. Don't know if that makes sense. It's early here!

I thought that I would revive this thread, not out of mischief, but because a debate has been raging on the Discworld Forum over digitally printed stamps from the early days of the stamps (when I say raging it is mainly between Steve and myself) it having been revealed that some year 1 10p Morporkia Green stamps were produced this way. Now, bearing in mind that most of us no longer believe in Father Christmas (and I have my doubts about the Easter Bunny) I had come to the conclusion that the year 1 non-Enschede stamps, i.e. the Bath and Wincanton perfed stamps, were all digitally printed (a digitally printed year 1 Penny Patrician was also included in some year 4 anniversary LBES) and I had attributed this to Bernard but now suspect it was Colin. So, am I right, or did you use one of your trade printers?

Hi Daniel - the short answer is that I couldn't comment without actually seeing the specific stamps involved.
Also from reading the thread on the DW forum I think there is some confusion between references to stamps printed digitally on professional quality systems, and those produced in-house at the shop, but again I couldn't comment without actually seeing the stamps under discussion.
