Stamps are a little larger, usually about 1/4 to 1/2mm.
The difference results from "wet" printing stamps being printed on damp paper (it wasn't really wet). This allowed for a better impression on engraved stamps. However, the paper shrinks as it dries, resulting in the smaller size stamp.

Also, with wet printing, the ink bleeds into the paper, where with dry printing, the paper generally remains white.

What is dry printing? How do I recognize it? How does it compare to regular printing?
