Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the cancellation removable?
Outer Aspect's patent pending microlenticular material allows ink cancellation systems to work on our surfaces. This special resin developed especially for the philatelic market is almost a security feature in itself. Touch dry 30 seconds, fully dry 20 minutes.
Using industry standard toluene tests to remove the ink will completely destroy the surface of the lenticular material.
