40 Stamp Pane of the 22ยข Lacemaking Stamps Two different colors of blue are used for the Lacemaking stamps, one for the background (PMS* 286U) and one for the lettering (PMS 288U), although they appear almost the same color. The white intaglio engraved lace designs are printed over two coats of the offset blue background. A good listing of the people involved in the stamp production can be found on the USPS Lacemaking Commerative Stamps page. * PMS = Pantone Matching System, U means Uncoated paper. first posted 1/18/2009 |
