Note that the printing on the 36/54° example on the left does not go from corner to corner as it does on the 45° examples above. Also remember that stamps are not square as these illustrations are.

Please note that there are several different 'type
styles' used for the liner printing, and the above is only intended to show the
orientation of the printing as you view it with the stamp design in the normal reading
position. Almost all issues with liner printing have it at 45°, except the 'Flag over
Porch' and 'Peaches and Pears' sheetlets which have both 45° and 36° liner
printing. On some issues, the blue liner printing is very light, making it difficult
to determine it correctly. Liner printing was eliminated in 1996. Note that the printing on the 36/54° example on the left does not go from corner to corner as it does on the 45° examples above. Also remember that stamps are not square as these illustrations are. |
