This item is a rare cromalin proof from the Walsall Security Printers printers archives plus a specimen of the issued stamp for comparison. This cromalin proof is from Tonga Niuafoou Columbus set.

Cromalin proofs were done by Walsall Security Printers on thick card and in full colour, a proofing method used by Walsall Security Printers in which full color proofs are produced directly from the color separations prior to final production of the printing plates. Each color is layered on top of the next thus building up to the full color design. It is at this stage that any final color change and occasionally design adjustment is made. As only 4 or 5 were done, cromalin proofs are scarce due to the very small number done. They are lovely looking, very high quality, with a glazed finish and were done by Walsall Security Printers as an important part of the printing process. These were not “printed” for collectors as many proofs are, and come from the printers archival material.
