Commemorative Issue "5th Anniversary of Coloured Stamps"
- Modern laser printing technology has become so common that it is difficult to remember the times when colour laser printers were rare, expensive, and had low printing quality. Inkjet technology had been available in good quality in the early 2000's, but was not useable for stamp production due to its water soluibility, as Posta tal Musograd production tests confirmed, and standard 4 colour printing was and is prohibitively expensive for small scale stamp production. The first Musogradian colour laser based stamps were printed in 2002, (mis)using a large IBM Colour Printer at the postmaster's workplace. Those were imperforated or rouletted with a star-like cutting wheel.This issue replicates the 2002 issue, replacing the then (and now) used state name "Dershowo Musograd" with "Federasha Musograd". Note the small "posta.mg.mu" web site name - at the time, a .mu subdomain was used for Posta tal Musograd, but that was available only for a short period.
