Assume watermark type is same as preceding stamps/sets, and Typo means Typograph print.
Placing "Typo" and no watermark no means preceding set/stamp has the same watermark, and is printed in a different way, eg "Litho".
Only differences from preceding sets/stamps are shown at the beginning of each set.
Is that clear? I'm not sure if I have conveyed my intent very well.

The introduction, index and identifiers to the catalogs provide a wealth of information regarding how to use and read the catalogs, in addition to much more.

Michael...I actually looked there first, but at the watermark section. I want back and found what I was looking for under types of paper. Lots of info, but I'll be darned if I still cannot not tell if the stamp I'm researching is Typo or Chalky. The added look did lead to something though. It is a Federated State of Malay stamp. It looks unused. However, I looked at it closer under 8x mag to see if printing was raised at all and discovered a very tiny green line and a few other green tinges that now make me think it's used. Without the magnification you cannot see it.
Boy, this stuff takes time....but damned interesting.

Hi bigcreekdad,
All Federated Malay States are typo.
I find distinguishing chalky from ordinary paper difficult but with these stamps the watermark should help you identify almost all the stamps.

typo is part of the printing process; chalky describes the paper
