Web notes

<p>Web notes are a type of United States currency named after the "web printing production" method of printing on continuous rolls of paper. There are several types of web printing production methods, including <a href="/facts/Offset_printing/dADgaujb">offset</a>, <a href="/facts/Intaglio_(printmaking)/UGGoXppU">gravure (intaglio)</a>, <a href="/facts/Flexography/crRKRJEV">flexography</a>, etc. However high-pressure web intaglio printing, front, and back of the intaglio process was a new idea.
</p><p>Between 1992 and 1996, the <a href="/facts/Bureau_of_Engraving_and_Printing/QV2PAF0P">Bureau of Engraving and Printing</a> experimented to see if a web press that used continuous rolls of paper was quicker and cheaper than intaglio printing, which uses flat sheets. The notes produced were <a href="/facts/United_States_one-dollar_bill/bPRM7AD8">dollar bills</a> from Series 1988A, Series 1993 and Series 1995. As the press was in the Washington facility, no web notes were printed at the <a href="/facts/Fort_Worth/NNBEqVe8">Fort Worth</a> plant. They are <a href="/facts/Legal_tender/VHLm0xnf">legal tender</a> and are not considered <a href="/facts/Numismatic_terminology/xJyJW0yN">error notes</a>, although they are somewhat scarce and more valuable than bills produced by the sheet-fed method.
