Dummy
Stamps Newsletter was first launched in the Summer of 2006 by the compiler of stampprinters.info
A Vermeil medal was awarded to the newsletter at the 2012 Iphla International Philatelic Literature Exhibition,
Germany.
Each
issue relates to items from the world of British
dummy philatelic material from postage and
(some) stationery stamp printers, with an occasional
excursion abroad when relevant to Britain
somehow, such as the stamp output of Cartor
(FRA), a Royal Mail
preferred print supplier.
Dummy
Stamps Newsletter (DS) comprises a minimum of four sides of A4 each quarter,
but often has more pages sometimes with a supplement or appendix.
A typical
front page.
All
current and back copies of Dummy
Stamps Newsletter can be viewed
online below as PDF files, 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 / Tablet or Phone for screen
viewing / printing at any time.
There
have been 746 PDF pages of A4 text and
2,909 images
published as of Q4 2020, covering subjects rarely written about elsewhere, but often
of such importance to the development of the production stages of stamps.

cumulative index
Traditionally useful, your compiler is no indexer!
The use of CTRL+F within a PDFworks best, as it can search on
every single word in each document.
An index for issues DS26 to DS50 will not, therefore, be compiled.

With sincere apologies for the lateness of recent uploads to those readers not registered. A software glitch had been beyond the technical capabilities of the compiler, but this has now been partly overcome.
Hopefully all readers will have timely access to these newsletters going forward.
