WATERMARK DETECTORS
  

THE MORLEY BRIGHT WATERMARK DETECTOR

The MORLEY BRIGHT system uses the fractional difference between watermarked areas of the stamp and the remaining area. This shows the relief when the ink in the sealed sachet is dispersed by the pressure leaving the "tell tale" watermark traces. A most cost effective means of identifying watermarks. The INST-A-TECTOR (Illustrated) is the most straight forward detector to use. the stamp is placed between an ink sachet and a piece of glass in the hand held unit. The watermark is revealed whilst thumb pressure is applied to the edges of the unit. For better definition or a longer lasting picture the ROLL-A-TECTOR is required. In this case a roller (instead of thumbs) is used to apply pressure. The picture will remain until another stamp is inserted.
