I have received a selection of US line coils in a bag of stamps. There are lines on several of the coils and have been told they are there for different reasons.There are terms (joint and guide lines ) that are confusing when researching my finds.
I would like to know the difference between guide lines and joint lines on US stamps
Any help is appreciated I read the info from Nov 2019 but it really didn`t explain the difference.

Joint lines typically refer to the seam between coil stamps pairs or multiples like this...
Guide line typically refer to the line between flat plate sheet stamps panes. These (red lines and yellow arrow) are guide lines on a flat plate sheet

Aren't joint lines created when ink fills in the gap where the plates joint together on the rotary press?

This from Wikipedia;
"A guide line pair has a guide line between the stamps. Since the guide lines are deliberately incised into the plate, they will generally be sharp and clear.
A joint line pair has a joint line between the stamps, deriving from the seam in the cylindrical plate used to print the stamps. These lines are somewhat smeared in appearance."
