Rotary printing is the most common production method for postage stamps today. In the early days of printing, a large flat plate was used to print a sheet at a time. Now that flat sheet has been curled into a cylinder which allows one to feed a continuous sheet of paper through the printing press. Even sheets can be fed through in a much more efficient way. There are some stamp issues that have been printed using more than one printing method. Others have been printed with the cylinder horizontal to the image and vertical to the image, creating a slight variation in the image size, even if the same master die was used. Identifying the printing method can make a difference in the value of a postage stamp. The US 1912-1918 series of stamps are an example of types that require careful study, particularly in the coil issues, as some of the flat plate varieties are very valuable, while the rotary are worth much less.
