Engraved and Shadow Edition Mixed Overprint

The engraving and photocopying editions have their own advantages and disadvantages. Using the method of mixed overprinting of engraving and photocopying, the advantages of these two printing methods are fully utilized and played, and the two complement each other and compensate each other, so as to obtain a more ideal printing effect. Internationally, the Austrian printed overprinting stamps have a rather high technical level. Such stamps as “characters”, “watermelons”, and “grapes” printed by Austria for Yugoslavia are very prominent in color and texture. The combination of the two printing processes is very decent. The stamps “Huangshan Landscape”, “Hongqi Canal” and “Lushan Landscape” printed in China are used to make the silhouette and the main levels of the pine trees and mountains with engraving lines and ideas, supplemented by the color and level of detail of the video edition. Changes have produced the heroic, upright, magnificent and colorful printing effect. Another example is the "Yin Dai Bronze" stamp. The engraving line shows the ancient bronze image. It is lined with the rust green and shadow texture created by the photocopying. It makes the bronze patterns in the stamps printed out. Elegant, exquisitely textured, more realistic.

According to the manuscript design of some stamps, the use of engraving and shadow printing has a satisfactory printing effect. However, the method of mixed printing is to combine two different printing methods with different properties. The difficulty in printing overlay accuracy is high.
