Definitions

1. A watermark is a design (maybe a letter, a number, or a picture) that is pressed into the paper that a stamp is printed on during manufacturing.
2. A watermark is a design consisting of characters, letters, numerals, or words impressed into paper during it's manufacture.
3. A watermark is a special design or pattern pressed in to the soft paper during the manufacturing process.
4. A watermark is made by impressing a water-coated metal stamp or dandy roll onto the paper during manufacturing.
5. A watermark is normally viewed through the front of the stamp.

Dandy Roll

1. Dandy roll: wire roller which bears down on the paper pulp as it comes from the vats and gives the finished paper its watermark.

Career

1. His career started at the award-winning Sydney restaurant, The Watermark, under the guidance of Executive Chef Kenneth Leung.

Areas

1. Instead of using a wire covering for the dandy roll, the shaded watermark is created by areas of relief on the roll's own surface.

Picture

1. Encoding an identifying code into digitized music, video, picture, or other file is known as a digital watermark.

Method

1. Caution should be taken when using this method of watermark detection as the ink in certain stamps may run when immersed in the fluid.

Instance

1. The hinge keeps the stamp on the page while still allowing it to be lifted to examine the back (for instance to see the watermark or expert marks).

Purpose

1. It's just that few households need more than an hour or so of Enya music, and Shepherd Moons and Watermark serve that purpose far more effectively.

Visible

1. As the fluid evaporates the watermark becomes visible and as it does not contain water the fluid may be used on mint stamps without damaging the gum.

Number

1. Watermark: The number of prints of stamps and valuable papers.
2. FIG. 6B is the same as FIG. 6A except that the number of IP addresses currently in use is 55 (630) and the high watermark is 70 (635).

Designations

1. These designations describe the orientation of the watermark with respect to the stamp's design.

Light

1. Watermark detection can be as simple as holding the stamp up to a light or by placing it face down on a black surface.
2. Benjamin Franklin's picture appears on the bill, but when held up to the light, you will see Abraham Lincoln's likeness in the watermark.

World

1. In fact the first stamp in the world, the Great Britain Penny Black of 1840, carried a watermark: an almost unnoticed, small crown imbedded in its paper.

Thinning

1. On rare occasions the watermark is a thickening of the paper instead of a thinning.

Thinner

1. At the place where the watermark is pressed in, the paper becomes thinner, thus allowing the watermark to become visible.

Paper Currency

1. Like paper currency, polymer banknotes can incorporate a watermark (an optically variable 'shadow image') in the polymer substrate.

Watermarks

1. Most philatelic experts rely on a combination of watermark fluid, mechanical equipment, good lighting, and knowledge to identify watermarks.

Security Measure

1. WATERMARK: A security measure where a visible image or emblem is caused by deliberately thinning paper during stamp production.

People

1. Many people don't realize that under US copyright law, it is specifically illegal to remove a watermark from a photo.
2. Most of these people are dealers who are unwilling to expend the time to actually watermark the stamps.

Varieties

1. Where there are watermark, perf, paper or other varieties, I have either confirmed the identification myself, or I've priced it as the cheapest type.

Variety

1. If I have trouble finding the feature that distinguishes a variety - a watermark or design element, for instance - I pass the item by.

Type

1. The type of printing or whether they have a watermark also can classify stamps.
2. Another type of watermark is called the shaded watermark.

Watermark Fluid

1. Various aids have been developed, such as watermark fluid that wets the paper without damaging it.
2. Stamp creases are visible in watermark fluid.
3. LAID PAPER: A paper showing light and dark lines when held to the light or put in watermark fluid.

Fluid

1. Some dealers use watermark fluid (usually a form of benzene) to track a watermark quickly and surely.
2. Sometimes this can be detected by making sure that the right kind of paper is on the back of the stamp, or by putting the stamp in watermark fluid.
3. If this fails then watermark fluid may be used which 'wets' the stamp to reveal the mark.

British Colonies

1. This "Crown & CA" (for "Crown Agent") watermark was standard for postage stamps of the British colonies from the 1880s to the 1920s.

Colonies

1. Anchor: watermark used in issues of Great Britain and Colonies.

Process

1. The process of printing, or rather pressing on the watermark is a simple process.
2. If that moment is passed over, or if you want an additional look at the watermark, then the stamp should be allowed to dry and the process repeated.

Photos

1. Picture Resize Genius can be used to resise images from your photos or pictures, add a text overlay (watermark), rename file and more.

Design

1. A cleaner version of the design was issued in 1914, and various denominations appeared from time to time, along with changes of watermark, as late as 1932.

Perforation

1. Beginners often consider stamps to be duplicates that really are not, because they overlook perforation, watermark or color varieties.
2. Printed by Perkins Bacon, initially un watermarked and imperforate, perforation was introduced in 1860, and the "Crown & CC" watermark in 1863.
3. Changes of perforation, watermark, often occur without any official notice, as do printing errors.

Watermark Tray

1. Others, printed on colored paper, cannot be identified that easily and a watermark tray is necessary.

Tray

1. If you are still unable to read the watermark, get a watermark tray and some watermark fluid and dip the stamp in the fluid face down.
2. The purpose of a watermark tray is to help identify the watermark on a stamp.
3. The watermark Tray is used with a commercial watermark fluid to detect and view the watermark which normally is not visible to the naked eye.

Manufacturing

1. Watermark fluid will enhance a watermark, a design or pattern that is pressed into some stamp paper during manufacturing.

Manufacture

1. Watermark: A design pressed into stamp paper during its manufacture.
2. Watermark A design, mark, or inscription worked into the paper during manufacture.
3. If a licensee were to manufacture and distribute them in areas outside of its authorized territory, the watermark provides a trace.

Forgery

1. Watermark Design or pattern in paper formed during the manufacturing process, valuable as a security precaution against forgery.

Enya

1. Enya achieved a breakthrough in her career in 1988 with the album Watermark, which featured the hit song "Orinoco Flow" (sometimes known as "Sail Away").

Banknotes

1. Most banknotes are made using the mould made process in which a watermark and thread is incorporated during the paper forming process.

Paper

1. Watermark A watermark is a design pressed into stamp paper during the manufacturing of the paper.
2. In fact the stamp paper is thinner at some spots when a watermark has been pressed into the paper.
3. Watermark: A deliberate thinning of paper during its manufacture, to produce a semitranslucent pattern.

Stamps

1. The stamps were printed on two qualities of paper (thick and thin) with watermark "ET" and crown.
2. The Geneva cross belongs to Switzerland but is not really a watermark, as it is impressed in the paper after the stamps are printed.
3. The watermark may serve to identify the paper-maker, but is usually incorporated in the paper used for stamps as a security measure, to defeat the forger.

Stamp

1. If a stamp is identified as a variety (watermark, perf, paper, etc.) that means I've checked it myself.
2. Watermark Detector A method of safely determining the existence of a watermark by placing a stamp in a tray filled with special fluid.
3. Sometimes the watermark can be seen when we point a stamp (held with a pair of tongs of course) with the printed side facing a bright light.

Watermark

1. In philately, the watermark is a key feature of the stamp, and often constitutes the difference between a common and a rare stamp.
2. Watermark. A machine-applied, deliberate thinning of paper during its manufacture, to produce a semi-transparent pattern or design of some kind.
3. Watermark - Semi-transparent pattern impressed into paper during manufacture as a guard against forgery.
