Good day,

 

I would like to request the creation of a new printing method in the Numista banknote catalog: Orlov printing.

 

This technique was invented by Ivan Ivanovich Orlov in 1890 and first used in 1892. It is a method of multi-color printing in which elements feature absolutely no breaks or shifts between the different colors. The printing process involves transferring ink from separate layers onto a common plate, then pressing that common plate onto the substrate.

 

Linked below are sources that document the existence of this printing process:

 

Examples of banknotes that use this printing method:

  • N#204574 on the reverse, particularly in the underprint and frames.
  • N#208643 in the underprint and on the reverse in the pattern on either side of the center picture.
  • N#207852 on the reverse.

 

Best regards,

Daniel
