Note One: 2000 Sydney
Olympics 45c Gold Medallist Herb Elliot
digitally printed essay pair of sheetlets
of 10. This very rare "essay"
was used to test the digital printing machinery
prior to the production of the gold medallist's
sheetlets which were issued the day after
the gold medallists won their medals. (Herb
Elliot was the winner of the 1500 metres
in Rome in 1960). World class rarity with
only 2 other pairs known.
For the Olympic
Games held in Sydney in 2000, Australia
Post produced digital stamps overnight for
next day issuance. Sixteen sheets were produced,
one for each Gold Medal winning Australian
athlete.
These digital stamps were
printed on Fuji Xerox 40/40 copiers, in
Fuji Xerox plants and offices in each state.
Each copy centre was supplied with sheets
of A4 size, pre-perforated and gummed, stamp
paper. The sheet had a roulette down the
centre, to facilitate its separation into
two A5 size sheets of ten stamps. Thus the
A4 size sheet was a production format, and
it was Australia Post's intention that the
A4 size sheets be separated and sold solely
as A5 size sheets of ten.
Between each sheet of stamp
paper was an interleaf of standard copy
paper, printed all over in black. This interleaf
was necessary to stop the sheets of gummed
stamp paper sticking together in the heat
of the photocopy machine and damaging the
drum. The interleaf paper was printed black
prior to use because the stamp image was
printed not only on the stamp paper, but
also on the interleaf sheet. By using black
paper the stamp image was largely obliterated
and there was no risk of mistaking them
for real stamps. The black interleaf sheets
had no purpose other than to stop the stamp
sheets sticking together in the photocopier;
it has no conservational value as claimed
by some people.
The mail order (Philatelic
Bureau) quantity of A4 sheets were all separated
into sheets of ten and the interleaf sheets
were destroyed. Hence, A4 size sheets of
Gold Medallist stamps or the black interleaf
sheets were not officially available from
Australia Post. However, as the interleaved
sheets were not necessarily separated and
cut down in this way at Post Offices, they
do exist as A4 double sized sheets with
the interleaf given away as a bonus item
by postal officials. These are very scarce
items and are not very easy to come by from
dealers.
The sheetlets were printed
in the States of Western Australia, South
Australia (who printed some for the Northern
Territory), Victoria (who printed some for
Tasmania), New South Wales, Australian Capital
Territory and Queensland. A small Australian
creature like a kookaburra or koala printed
in red in the margin identifies the State
of origin. These digital stamps were available
from 70 nominated Post Offices within 24
hours of the medal being won. Quantities
printed were: New South Wales, 135,000 stamps
per medallist; Australian Capital Territory,
55,000; Queensland, 65,000; Victoria, 105,000;
South Australia, 60,000 and Western Australia,
55,000. Of the total printing of 475,000
stamps, some 35,000 stamps were reserved
from each print site for mail orders and
orders after the Games.
