Danish stamps turn to Nilpeter.In 2010, after 159 years, Danes will have the option to lick their stamps or not. Starting next year, Post Danmark Post Danmark A/S is the company responsible for the Danish postal service. Established in 1995 following political liberalization efforts, it has taken over the mail delivery duties of the governmental department Postvæsenet (the Danish postal service postal service, arrangements made by a government for the transmission of letters, packages, and periodicals, and for related services. Early courier systems for government use were organized in the Persian Empire under Cyrus, in the Roman Empire, and in medieval ) will offer self-adhesive stamps A self-adhesive stamp is a postage stamp with a type of gum that does not require moistening in order to adhere to paper. They are usually issued on backing paper. They were first issued in the 1960s, by such tropical climates as Sierra Leone and Tonga in an attempt to avoid for the first time. Post Danmark has invested in a new MO-3300 press manufactured by Nilpeter, based in Slagelse, Denmark. "We are investing in a new printing press, which can print both self-adhesive and traditional stamps, says Lene Reipuert, manager of Post Danmark, Stamps. "This will be the start of an entirely new chapter in the history of the Danish stamp." The Nilpeter press can accommodate the intaglio intaglio (ĭntăl`yō, –täl`–), design cut into stone or other material or etched or engraved in a metal plate, producing a concave, instead of a convex, effect. It is the reverse of a relief or cameo. process for both traditional and self-adhesive stamps. "We are one of the few postal services in the world that still produces stamps by the intaglio process," says Reipuert. "And that is a tradition we want to continue with this new printing press. In addition, it combines intaglio inline with a number of other printing techniques, such as offset, flexo, screen, and gravure printing gravure printing Printing processes used for catalogs, magazines, newspaper supplements, cartons, floor and wall coverings, textiles, and plastics. The Bohemian Karel Klíc made photogravure a practical commercial process in 1878. . This configuration enables us to reproduce very high standards of artwork, together with highly sophisticated security features." The press converts a wide variety of material types. While the previous single-process intaglio machine only printed on mono-web paper, the MO-3300 also converts synthetic materials, which in turn allows a whole new avenue of designs to be explored. The Finnish Postal Service, for example, is producing a stamp printed on a clear film, featuring a transparent window in the middle. Stamp collection accounts for as much as 4 percent of Post Danmark's stamp revenue, and for this reason several of the self-adhesive laminate laminate, n a thin slice of porcelain or plastic fabricated in a dental lab, which is cemented to the front of the teeth to cover gaps, whiten stained teeth, or reshape chipped or broken teeth. producers developed a three-layer specialty product. This features two liners--a self-adhesive layer for easy, lick-free application, under a traditional wet-glue layer to which the stamp itself is attached. "Until now," says lars Eriksen, owner and president of Nilpeter, "this printing sector has traditionally been a closed environment, heavily reliant on relatively few equipment suppliers. The arrival of the Nilpeter MO-3300 press finally gives this exclusive niche market A niche market also known as a target market is a focused, targetable portion (subset) of a market sector. By definition, then, a business that focuses on a niche market is addressing a need for a product or service that is not being addressed by mainstream providers. an extra choice, with a new, versatile high-tech alternative." |
