The (17) refers to a stamp printed in offset-litho, hence is not in the same league!!Rein escribió:Although there is NO new edition in Ocotber yet, a few remarks can still be made!
Concerning the matt coated paper around 1977-1980 used EXCLUSIVELY for photogravure on the Goebel reel-fed rotary!
Which classification was used???
We find:
(15) Semi-Encapado Mate Witcell, ray. paral. al lado mayor/menor al dorso, s/Filig. FN Correo del Uruguay - 1977
(17) Semi-Encapado Mate Celulosa, sin trama, s/Filig. PN
(18) Semi-Encapado Mate Witcell, rayado al dorso, s/Filig. PN Escarapela de $290
as to (15):
is the only stamp mentioned so far by Gz...
There is NO overprint! The base stamp does NOT exist! We have a two coloured stamp in photogravure here, printed on this horrible type of paper which destroys any excellence the stamp might have been able to get !

Anyhow, the mergers and close-downs in paper industry can not be followed really.... WiT stems from Wiggins and Teape! Cel(l) comes from Cellulosa?!?! Arjowiggins has the "Wiggins" in it ....Dalum Papir to be closed down
Sept 14 2012 The Danish fine paper mill Dalum Papir will be closed down. The owner, Arjowiggins, has presented a plan to shut three paper mills in Denmark, the UK and Argentina.
Arjowiggins has presented the social partners and employees with its plans to close Dalum Papir in Denmark (graphic papers), the Ivybridge plant in the UK (papers used for security documents, creative papers) and the Witcel plant in Argentina (creative papers).
The closure of the Dalum and Witcel plants should be effective by the end of 2012, and the closure of the Ivybridge plant in the beginning of 2014. Around 430 employees are concerned.
The particularly tough conditions the paper industry has faced since 2008 have accelerated the fall in demand for graphic papers, with the market contracting by approximately six percent every year, Sequana, owner of Arjowiggins, writes in a press release.
Given the structural decline and overcapacity on the market, and following the shutting down of a machine at Chartham mill (creative papers) in the UK in August, Arjowiggins has decided to continue to adjust its capacity in line with demand.
These capacity reductions represent a total of 126,000 tons (including 103,000 tons for Dalum Papir), or around ten percent of the group's total production capacity. Thanks to the flexibility of Arjowiggins' production model, all product ranges concerned will be transferred and manufactured at other group plants in France, the UK and Brazil.
Dalum Papir was founded in 1874. The mill was part of the Swedish Stora group, now Stora Enso, during the 1990s.
Following the closure of Dalum Papir, there will be only one paper mill in Denmark, Skjern Papirfabrik, producing some 55,000 tons of board with approximately 75 employees.
