Thank you for a great video. Excellent topic... maybe I should double check my listings. In my over-kill process of scanning, photographing and then editing the items gives me an opportunity to check... sometimes.
Yes, I was going to let Julie know. When photos are printed on a printing press something called a screen is used. There are many screen patterns but normally just a halftone dot pattern for B&W and for color we use four screens to print four colors to get a photographic effect. Either way I just call it screened.
What do you do with the photos that are not real? Are those the ones you give to your customers in the mail? I just ordered several cards for the first time. This will be a great help. Thanks so much. I don't have a scanner. I am going to try to use the one at work if it's early enough in the morning, before the boss gets in, until I can buy one with the profits. Ugh! I can send them to my personal email and download at home. I will feel so ripped off if the ones I purchased are not real.
This is still one of the hardest things for me to figure, despite watching many videos. I will try the zoom technique - what program are you using for the zoom??
Just get a good magnifying glass. I spent 30 years in the printing business and I always had jewelers loupe or watchmakers loupe to check things. Do not get one with a handle they are not strong enough. So to make my post short if you see a dot pattern it has been printed with ink. No pattern it is a photograph. To test your loupe go pull out some family pictures, you will not see a dot pattern in any of them because they are real photos.
@@julienorman I was in an antique store today and needed a loupe. Lots of RPPC but others mixed in. Aren't you in montana? I bought 25 calendar toppers of local Indians near Glacier National Park 1930,31,32 It is all art work of Winold Reiss. Fantastic art. Do you find any of his work up there?
I bought a magnifier with 3 lenses the strongest one is 16x. It’s not stron enough to pick up the pixels. So my guess is that it needs to be way stronger- maybe 30 or 40x?
Thank you, most helpful for a beginner.

Julie, This is a content packed video! You knocked it out of the park!!!!!
Glad you liked it!!
I missed 12😢. This was cool! Would love more of these periodically!
Great topic & a very helpful video! I still get confused with the difference. This is a great way to explain/show. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
This was very helpful. Thank you.
What you are calling “pixels” I’ve always heard them called “printing dots” Fun video Julie! 🕺🏼👍🏽😎

I couldn't think of the right term, so pixels was what I went with. Printing dots is probably the correct term! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Fun!

I was just using Microsoft photos, your laptop or phone should have a simple photo tool on it.

If we need to use a jewelers loupe what strength is best for RPPCs?
I'm not sure, I bought a generic one off eBay. I don't think it matters too much, you just need to be able to see if there are dots or not.
