Sheet Edge
The term "sheet edge" refers to the empty fields connected to the stamps and arranged around the sheet. These fields are often unprinted. However in many cases, quite a bit of interesting information can be found on them, e.g. printing dates or the like. The most important inscriptions printed on the edges of the sheet are:
- number of the edition
- sheet inscription (advertisements, information about the stamp issue, etc.)
- printing dates
- internal numbers
- registration marks
- plate numbers
- banding
- counter of the row value
