Mello Teggia mentions this issue in offset-litho - that is wrong it is photogravure and I hope this has been corrected in the 2009 edition



fragment that shows the photogravure screen:



The 2 orientations of the so-called Rayos Rectos Nitidos (orthogonal watermark, a-symmetrical paper wire):

Both MT 2009 and GJ mention it as offset, and only one paper.

Tanto en MT como en GJ aparece como offset, y un sólo papel.

It is a pity that nowadays catalogue-makers hardly ever have a notion about the post-1914 postage stamps they describe in their catalogues...

They simply repeat what had been written down years ago without checking the facts. The 2 orientations are A FACT! The method of printing is also a fact: PHOTOGRAVURE. Should anyone have a doubt they may contact a printing house that still prints in photogravure......
