StampPrinters.info: Dummy Stamps Newsletter

Dummy Stamps Newsletter

Dummy Stamps Newsletter was first launched in the Summer of 2006 by the compiler of stampprinters.info

Each issue relate to items from the world of British dummy philatelic material from postage and stationery stamp printers, with an occasional excursion abroad when relevant to Britain somehow, such as the stamp output of Cartor (FR) and Enschede (NL), both Royal Mail preferred print suppliers.

Dummy Stamps Newsletter comprises a minimum of four sides of A4 each quarter, but invariably comprises more pages, often with a supplement or appendix.

A typical front cover.

All current and back copies of Dummy Stamps Newsletter can be viewed online below as a PDF file, downloaded as a PDF file for printing on your colour / black and white printer, or can be saved as a file on your PC / Mac for screen viewing / printing at any time.

There have been 424 PDF pages of A4 text and more than 1,450 images published as of Q1 2013, covering subjects rarely written about elsewhere, but often of such importance to the development of the production stages of actual issued stamps.

A Vermeil medal was awarded to the newsletter at the 2012 Iphla International Philatelic Literature Exhibition held in Germany.
