In just over three years, Royal Mail and Intelligent AR haverevolutionized the world of variable value stamp collecting.The launch of the new ‘Post & Go’ philatelic kiosks duringSpring Stampex 2014 in London was the start of a newphase and its issues have set the «standard» worldwide.

During these last years, Intelligent AR has presented itsequipment at several international philatelic events and topostal administrations and philatelic services worldwide.This accumulated experience has enabled the company todevelop new applications for their kiosks and also to createa family of modular solutions with new postal and philatelicequipment.

A clear example is the new DKU or Desktop Kiosk Unitpresented for the first time in September at the ChinaInternational Collection Expo 2017, in Nanjing. The DKU is amodular desktop equipment with similar features to kiosks.The version shown in Nanjing was made up of a touchscreen monitor and a unit including the computer and twodirect thermal printers for stamp and receipt printing.However, its modular design and specific software allow thiscomputer solution to be adapted according to the needs ofthe client. It can thus be used for the direct printing ofvariable value stamps from values selected by the user or, inconjunction with integrated scales, the printing of stampsaccording to the weight, destination and type of shipment.This equipment can be installed at post office counters andcan be used by philatelic services, and depending on itsconfiguration, can be operated by postal employees or bythe general public.

Without doubt this is a great arrangement and solutionthat could be very attractive to postal operators and also tomany philatelic services. Unlike kiosks, which require carefulhandling and installation, which can be expensive, the newDKU is a small unit that can be easily transported andinstalled at philatelic events; and I do not doubt that this willbe the case.

En poco más de tres años, Royal Mail e Intelligent AR hanrevolucionado el mundo del coleccionismo de sellos de valorvariable. La presentación de los nuevos quioscos filatélicos ‘Post& Go’ durante la Spring Stampex 2014 de Londres supuso elinicio una nueva etapa, y sus emisiones son ya un referentemundial.

Durante estos años, Intelligent AR ha presentado sus equiposen varios eventos filatélicos internacionales, y a operadorespostales y servicios filatélicos de todo el mundo. La experienciaacumulada le ha permitido desarrollar nuevas aplicaciones parasus quioscos, y también crear una familia de solucionesmodulares con nuevos equipos postales y filatélicos.

Un claro ejemplo es el nuevo DKU, o Desktop Kiosk Unit,presentado por primera vez en septiembre en la feria CICE 2017de Nanjing, en China. El DKU es un equipo modular desobremesa con prestaciones similares a los quioscos. La versiónmostrada en Nanjing estaba formada por una pantalla táctil yuna unidad que incluye el ordenador y dos impresoras térmicasdirectas para la impresión de sellos y recibos. Pero suconcepción modular y un software dedicado permiten adaptaresta solución informática de acuerdo a las necesidades delcliente, pudiendo ser utilizado para la impresión directa desellos de valor variable a partir de unos valores seleccionadospor el usuario, o integrar una balanza que permita obtener unsigno de franqueo de acuerdo al peso, destino y tipo de envío.Este equipo puede ser instalado en oficinas postales y tambiénutilizado por servicios filatélicos y, dependiendo de suconfiguración, puede ser operado por empleados postales opor el público en general. Sin duda, se trata de una propuestaque podría ser muy atractiva para administraciones postales,pero también para muchos servicios filatélicos; a diferencia delos quioscos, que requieren un transporte especial y unainstalación que pueden ser muy costosos, el nuevo DKU es unequipo de dimensiones reducidas que puede transportarsefácilmente, lo que permitiría su fácil instalación en eventosfilatélicos. Y no dudo que así será.

Cada año, SaintPeter Port, la capitalde Guernsey y elpuerto principal de laisla, recibe la visita demás de un centenarde transatlánticos ycruceros de turismo,la mayor partedurante latemporada decruceros, entre mayo y octubre. En 2016, 133.000 cruceristasdesembarcaron en el puerto, en su mayor parte durante unaspocas horas, y gastaron 4,2 millones de libras en compras yactividades diversas. Sin duda, un sector muy importante en laeconomía de esta pequeña isla del Canal de la Mancha, aloeste de las costas de Normandía.

En 2017, sin viajes internacionales programados yaprovechando el largo periodo de inactividad entre las dosStampex de Londres,el servicio filatélicode Guernsey Postdecidió trasladar suquiosco GG01GG01GG01GG01GG01 a laisla, e instalarlotemporalmente en laoficina postal deSmith Street, en elcentro histórico deSaint Peter Port.

El quiosco filatélicoGG01GG01GG01GG01GG01 fue situadojunto a la puerta de acceso a la oficina postal el 21 deabril de 2017, y permaneció allí hasta el 31 de agosto.Durante este periodo, el equipo estuvo emitiendo selloscon el diseño básico ‘Guernsey flag’, con el nombre dela oficina ‘ Smith StreetSmith StreetSmith StreetSmith StreetSmith Street ‘, por una de las impresoras, y lapreciosa serie temática ‘Guernsey BailiwickLighthouses’ por la otra. El diseño ‘Guernsey flag’también pudo obtenerse emitido con el equipo B002B002B002B002B002.

En colaboración con el Guernsey Tourist Board, parapromocionar el turismo y atraer el interés de loscruceristas, el servicio filatélico decidió aprovechar las

Each year, Saint Peter Port, thecapital of Guernsey and the mainport on the island is visited bymore than one hundred oceanliners and cruise ships, most ofthem during the cruise season,between May and October. In

2016, 133,000 cruisepassengers disembarked atthe port, mostly for a fewhours, and spent 4.2million pounds onpurchases and variousservices. Undoubtedly, thisactivity is a very importantsector of the economy ofthis small Channel Island,situated west of theFrench Normandy coast.

In 2017, without anyscheduled internationaltravels and commitments

and taking advantage of the long periodof inactivity between the two LondonStampex events, the Guernsey Postphilatelic service decided to move itsGG01 GG01 GG01 GG01 GG01 kiosk to the island and temporarilyinstall it at the Smith Street post office, inthe historic centre of Saint Peter Port.

The GG01GG01GG01GG01GG01philatelic kioskwas placed nextto the post officeentrance on April21st 2017, andremained thereuntil August 31st.During thisperiod, themachine issuedstamps with the‘Guernsey flag’definitive design

magníficas cualidadesdel quiosco e incluir elnombre del barco obarcos visitantes en lossellos emitidos con laserie de faros, tan sólodurante el día en queel crucero hicieseescala en la ciudad.Durante estos pocomás de cuatro meses,la isla recibió la visitade 50 cruceros.Algunos de estosbarcos visitaron la isla

en varias ocasiones, como el Caribbean Princess, quefondeó hasta en nueve ocasiones frente a Saint Peter Port.

Las características excepcionales de estas emisionesprovocaron reacciones de todo tipo.Inicialmente pensadas para losvisitantes de los cruceros, GuernseyPost no había previsto ofrecer todasestas emisiones especiales a loscoleccionistas a través su servicio deabono a novedades. Sin embargo,como era de esperar, muy pocoscruceristas se acercaron a la oficinapostal a adquirir los sellos y, por otraparte, un buen número decoleccionistas y comerciantescontactaron con el servicio filatélicopara obtener todos los textos (110abonos en total). En el otro extremo,algunos coleccionistas, decepcionados

ante la cantidad y características de estas emisiones,decidieron abandonar la colección ‘Post & Go’ de estaadministración.

En lo referente a la inclusión de los nombres en los sellos,pueden reconocerse tres criterios distintos (imágenes página

siguiente); (1) Sellos con tan sólo el nombredel barco, (2) con el nombre del barcoprecedido por el texto ‘ Welcome to: Welcome to: Welcome to: Welcome to: Welcome to: ‘,añadido cuando el nombre era muy corto, y(3) con el nombre de dos barcos, en los díasque dos cruceros coincidían en la isla.

Todos los textos pudieron obtenerse tansólo durante un día ... o en ocasiones tan

and the post office’s name ‘ Smith StreetSmith StreetSmith StreetSmith StreetSmith Street ‘ fromone of the printers and the beautiful ‘GuernseyBailiwick Lighthouses’ thematic series from theother. The ‘Guernsey flag’ design could also beobtained with the B002B002B002B002B002 code.

In collaboration with the Guernsey TouristBoard the philatelic service decided to takeadvantage of the marketing potential of the kioskin order to promote tourism and attract theinterest of cruise passengers, by including thename of the visiting ships on the lighthouse seriesof stamps. These ‘cruise’specific stamps are onlyprinted on the day theship (or ships) call atSaint Peter Port. In a littleover four months, theisland received 50 cruiseship visits. Some of thesevisited the island several times duringthis period e.g. like The CaribbeanPrincess, that visited Saint Peter Porton nine occasions.

The unprecedented features ofthese issues caused all sorts ofreactions from collectors. Thoughinitially aimed at cruise ship visitors,Guernsey Post had not planned tooffer all these special issues tocollectors as a standing order.However, as expected, very few cruiseship passengers visited the post officeto acquire the stamps and notunsurprisingly many collectors anddealers contacted the philatelic service requesting all thedifferent special imprints (110 standing order strips). At theother extreme, some collectors, disappointed with thequantity and nature of these issues, decided to completelyabandon the ‘Post & Go’ collection of this administration.

With regard to the ship names printed onthe stamps, we have identified three maindifferent varieties (images next page); (1) stampswith just the ship’s name, (2) with the ship’sname preceded by the text ‘ Welcome to:Welcome to:Welcome to:Welcome to:Welcome to: ‘,added when the name was very short and(3) with two ship’s names, when two cruisesvisited the island on the same day.

and the two new desktopunits (codes CSP2CSP2CSP2CSP2CSP2 and CSP3CSP3CSP3CSP3CSP3),and issue special samplelabels. As a new feature atCICE 2017, users had theoption to customize the textand images (emoticons)printed on the labels.

Cartor produced rolls oflabels with the exhibition andcompany logos and, in thebackground, a grey-tonedimage of the Buddhist templeof Jiming, one of the oldesttemples in the city. And theselabels have two interestingnew features. Cartor addedholographic material aroundits logo to a part of themanufactured labels (right

image below), showing differentprinting options. In addition,the labels for Nanjing are notstuck on the usual yellow

silicone coatedbacking paper buton a transparentrelease liner (film).The use of this typeof thinner backingpaper allows themanufacture of rollswith a larger

number of labels in the same volume and also reducesmaintenance thus optimizing the thermal printers operation.

Both types of equipment, kiosks and counter units, workwith the same programme or software application, use thesame rolls of labels and are fitted with the same type ofprinters making the printing on stamps or labels identical.

Durante la exposición,los numerosos visitantes yrepresentantes deadministraciones postalesy servicios filatélicospudieron probar elquiosco filatélico CSP1CSP1CSP1CSP1CSP1 ylos dos nuevos equiposde sobremesa (códigosCSP2CSP2CSP2CSP2CSP2 y CSP3CSP3CSP3CSP3CSP3), y emitir etiquetas de muestraespeciales. Como novedad, en CICE 2017 los usuariostuvieron la posibilidad de personalizar el texto eimágenes (emoticonos) impresos sobre las etiquetas.

Cartor fabricó rollos de etiquetas con el logotipo dela exposición y de la empresa y, al fondo, una imagenen tonos grises del templo budista de Jiming, uno delos más antiguos de la ciudad. Y dos interesantesnovedades: A modo de prueba y para mostrardiferentes opciones de impresión, Cartor añadiómaterial holográfico alrededor de su logotipo en unaparte de las etiquetas fabricadas (derecha). Además, lasetiquetas para Nanjing no están adheridas sobre elhabitual papel soporte siliconado amarillo, sino sobreun soporte (film) transparente. A nivel de fabricación,el uso de este tipode soporte más finopermite fabricarrollos con un mayornúmero de etiquetasen el mismovolumen, y ademásreduce elmantenimiento yoptimiza el funcionamiento de las impresoras térmicas.

Ambos tipos de equipo, quioscos y equipos de sobremesa,utilizan un mismo programa o aplicación informática, losmismos rollos de etiquetas, e imprimen con el mismo tipo deimpresoras, por lo que la impresión sobre los sellos o etiquetases idéntica.

El 16 de agosto de 2017, el HMS QueenElizabeth atracó por primera vez en el queserá su puerto de origen, la base naval dePortsmouth, una de las tres bases que tieneRoyal Navy en el Reino Unido.

El HMS Queen Elizabeth es el primero dedos nuevos portaaviones, los mayoresbarcos de guerra construidos para RoyalNavy, capaces de transportar hasta 40aviones. Su construcción se inició en 2009,hizo las primeras pruebas en el mar en juniode 2017, y fue definitivamente entregado ala marina el 7 de diciembre del mismo año.

Por supuesto, las celebraciones conmotivo de la llegada del portaaviones nopasaron desapercibidas para Royal Mail,

que quiso conmemorar este acontecimiento con la inclusiónde dos nuevos textos temporales especiales en los sellosemitidos por el quiosco Post & Go A002A002A002A002A002, reinstalado en elVisitors Centre de The National Museum of the Royal Navy, en

el PortsmouthHistoric Dockyard,junto a la basenaval. A partir del 19de agosto, los sellosemitidos con eldiseño básico‘Machin’, con mayorespacio libre a la

izquierda del diseño, incluían el texto ‘Royal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II Carrier’ y el logotipo del museo en formato

reducido, mientras que los sellos emitidoscon el diseño ‘Union flag’ incluían eltexto ‘Royal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II Carrier’.

Sin embargo, el nombre correcto delportaaviones es ‘Queen Elizabeth’, no‘Queen Elizabeth II’ (de hecho, aunque lareina Isabel II bautizó el barco en julio de2014, el nombre proviene de la reinaIsabel I), por lo que decidieron cambiarlos textos impresos en los sellos. Diez díasmás tarde, a partir del 29 de agosto, lossellos emitidos con el diseño básico‘Machin’ incluían el texto ‘Royal NavyRoyal NavyRoyal NavyRoyal NavyRoyal NavyQueen Elizabeth Carrier 2017Queen Elizabeth Carrier 2017Queen Elizabeth Carrier 2017Queen Elizabeth Carrier 2017Queen Elizabeth Carrier 2017’ y ellogotipo del museo, y los sellos emitidos

On August 16th 2017, HMS QueenElizabeth berthed for the first time at itshome port, Her Majesty’s Naval Base,Portsmouth, one of three operating bases inthe United Kingdom for the Royal Navy.

HMS Queen Elizabeth is the first of twonew aircraft carriers, the largest warshipsbuilt for the Royal Navy, capable of carryingup to 40 aircraft. Its construction began in2009, undergoing its first sea trials in June2017, and finally being commissioned onDecember 7th 2017.

Of course, the celebrations for the arrivalof the aircraft carrier to Portsmouth did notgo unnoticed by Royal Mail, who wanted tocommemorate this event with two newspecial temporary imprints on the stamps issued by the A002A002A002A002A002Post & Go kiosk. In mid-August 2017, the machine was movedto the Visitors Center of The National Museum of the RoyalNavy, in Portsmouth’s Historic Dockyard, next to the navalbase. From August19th, the stampsissued with the‘Machin’ definitivedesign, included the‘Royal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II CarrierElizabeth II Carrier’imprint and themuseum’s logo in areduced format, while the stamps issued with the ‘Union flag’design included the text ‘Royal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II CarrierRoyal Navy QE II Carrier’.

However, the correct name ofthe aircraft carrier is ‘QueenElizabeth’ and not ‘Queen ElizabethII’ (actually, the ship was namedafter Queen Elizabeth I, in a July2014 naming ceremony by QueenElizabeth II), so it was decided tochange the texts printed on thestamps. Ten days later, starting onAugust 29th, the stamps issued withthe ‘Machin’ definitive designincluded the ‘Royal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenRoyal Navy QueenElizabeth Carrier 2017Elizabeth Carrier 2017Elizabeth Carrier 2017Elizabeth Carrier 2017Elizabeth Carrier 2017’ imprint andthe museum’s logo, and the stampsissued with the ‘Union flag’ design

Por tercer año consecutivo, en 2017 Royal Mail instaló unstand en los congresos de los principales partidos políticos delReino Unido. Inaceptable o visto con recelo en otros países,en el Reino Unidos estos congresos constituyen unamagnífica oportunidad de promoción directa para muchasempresas, asociaciones comerciales y grupos de presión.

El Labour Party o Partido Laborista celebró su congreso del24 al 27 de septiembre en Brighton. El Conservative Party oPartido Conservador lo celebró del 1 al 4 de octubre enManchester. Y el Scottish National Party o Partido NacionalEscocés, del 8 al 10 de octubre, en Glasgow. En los trescongresos, Royal Mail instaló el quiosco M007M007M007M007M007, un equipo dedesarrollo con balanza ubicado habitualmente en la sedecentral de Royal Mail, en Londres, no accesible al público.

Al igual que en 2016 (ver artículo publicado en VARIABLE 43 43 43 43 43), lossellos emitidos por el quiosco con la opción de compra directaen los tres congresos incluían un texto temporal alusivo a laciudad donde se celebraba: ‘ Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017 ‘, ‘ ManchesterManchesterManchesterManchesterManchester20172017201720172017 ‘ y ‘ Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017 ‘.

In 2017 for the third consecutive year Royal Mail set up itsstand at the conferences of the three main UK political parties.Viewed as inappropriate by some or with suspicion by othercountries, in the United Kingdom these conferencesconstitute a great opportunity for direct promotion bycompanies, trade associations and lobbyists.

The Labour Party held its conference from September 24th

to 27th, in Brighton. The Conservative Party held theirs fromOctober 1st to 4th, in Manchester and the Scottish NationalParty, from October 8th to 10th, in Glasgow. During the threeconferences, Royal Mail installed and operated its M007M007M007M007M007 kiosk,a development machine with its associated scales, usuallylocated at Royal Mail Headquarters, in London and notaccessible to the public.

As in 2016 (see article published in VARIABLE 43 43 43 43 43), the stampsissued by the kiosk via the direct purchase option include aspecial temporary imprint referring to the city where the partyconference was held, ‘Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017Brighton 2017 ‘, ‘ Manchester 2017Manchester 2017Manchester 2017Manchester 2017Manchester 2017 ‘ &‘ Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017Glasgow 2017 ‘.
