Print-spoiling paper in the 1975-1980 period

[Rein]

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 !

This very stamp can also be found with both the b-version as well as the d-version of its paper!

The b-version:












All three copies so far have a first day of issue cancellation!!




The d-version:




The d-version may be of a somewhat later date!

It will be interesting to see the time the d-version at all! So far no dates - any of the involved stamps after 1978! Which almost excludes the "Historical Buildings"!!

Some details of what is left over from the 5p Deer stamp in green!






these fragments also show clearly the bi-coloured photogravure!

The black is by NO WAY an overprint!

The 5p deer in green:








Paper used: chipswood coating - as explained higher up....

To get a more or less complete survey of the small sized Guillermo Brown we already have MORE than Solari in his "Parecen iguales son diferentes" [they look the same but are different!]

Solari does not recognize the paper structure and he does not distinguish the chipswood coating from the more or less smooth coatings! He just has an accidental "neutro" [15p] to offer!


10.08.1977 15p fluorescent

b-version:




d-version:




both b-versions:




The b-version but with a flawed COATING at the back!!!





Such COATING at the back may be more scarce than any NEUTRO!!


10.08.1976 70p glossy coated fluorescent (tizado) = chipswood coating




??.??.197? 70 p fluorescent mate.

b-version:




d-version:

Solari mentions several colours for the 50c! As far as I know we have just one type of paper - chipswood!

The ink has spread quite regularly all over the grey background and it is not normal to see the screen points! The text is in green and you can see green ink in the grey background as a result of not using the doctor blade properly!






How it looks normally - dark grey + green:





With a lot less ink:





Less ink and probably under influence of chemicals:





There is no GREY GREEN or bistre! Just shades of grey with a tinge of green due to a defective doctor blade?!

The screen gauge for the grey colour is 70 dots/cm for all 3 stamps! Although the first gives the false impression of having a finer screen! The dots seem to have fallen into pieces, whereas of the stamp in the middle the dots are solid!
