Laid paper: One of the two basic types of paper used in stamp printing. Laid paper is distinguished from wove paper by the presence of thin, parallel lines visible when the paper is held to light. The lines are usually a few millimeters apart.
Laid paper:
Shows closely spaced alternate light and dark lines when held up to a light.
Any word, inscription, or device placed on a stamp to alter its use or locality, or to serve a special purpose.
Laid Paper A machine maid paper that shows a pattern of closely spaced "ribs", the impression of the wire mesh upon which the paper pulp was smoothed.
Laid paper -- A type of stamp paper with thin parallel lines and thicker perpendicular lines that are essentially watermarks caused by the wires and chains of the paper machine. Stamps can be either vertically or horizontally laid.
Laid Paper - paper with the appearance of alternating dark and light lines, created by wires used in the paper making process. Similar to but less pronounced than ribbed paper. Example: 2¢ Jackson of 1863 (Scott 73).
Laid Paper - See "Batonne."
Last Day Cancellation - Refers either to the last day of a postmark's use or the cancel made on the last day of a post office's operation.
Laid Paper
One of several different types of paper used to print stamps. Unlike wove paper, laid paper is characterized by closely spaced parallel lines running through the paper. These lines are created during the papermaking process.
Laid paper is produced in the same manner, generally, as wove paper, but the screening is parallel and therefore the paper has a ribbed effect. Where these lines are widely spaced the paper is known as batonne.
Laid paper can be identified by either horizontal or vertical narrow line as you look through the stamp.
Granite paper is rather unique. It looks like wove paper but has blue and red silk fibers throughout.
When laid paper is held up to a light, its texture can be seen as light and dark lines. The lines are not a result of the printing but is a result of the paper making process.
Papel verjurado: (Sp.) laid paper.
Paper: see various papers under name or type of paper; 1: since most stamps are printed on paper, faults in the paper are sought by collectors as freaks or oddities, in some cases, ...
Laid paper - Paper watermarked with close parallel lines, with other lines, much wider spaced, crossing at right angles.
Last Day - The final day of a postal rate, post office operation or similar occurrence.
Batonne: A wove or laid paper with faint lines used as guide for writing.
Bilingual: Stamps which have inscriptions in two languages.
Blind perforation: stamps that are that are lightly perforated.
Batonne: A wove or laid paper with watermarklike lines deliberately added in the papermaking process and intended as a guide for handwriting.
