What is a Blind Stamp ?
A Blind Stamp (also known as embossments, chops, or dry stamps), are made by pressing a metal mould into the paper. The stamps used on prints are not inked, and can be seen to stand above the paper’s surface. They usually contain the publisher’s logo, or in some instances, the printer’s logo. Typically there is a series of letters and numbers within the blind stamp uniquely identifying the picture. The mark can usually be found in the lower right or lower left corner of the print and you can see it by holding the print at an angle to a light source.
