stemplets
Stemplets are a type of stamp used in the printing industry, particularly in the production of newspapers and magazines. They are typically made of metal and are used to apply a specific design or pattern to a printed page. Stemplets are often used to create a distinctive look for a publication, such as a watermark or a background pattern. They are applied to the paper before the ink is printed, ensuring that the design is visible on both sides of the page. Stemplets are a traditional method of adding design elements to printed materials and are still used in some printing processes today.
