Gift from a fellow stamp club member the other night. An obviously modern forgery of a Canada #3 12d black Queen Vic. Though it feels to the touch to be engraved, a look through the loupe shows what appears to be the type of raised thermal ink that you see on business cards. The paper is super thin (rice?) and the image itself shows halftone dots and what appear to be scanner lines. Interesting addition to the fake pile though.

Very nice forgery.
The method of printing you described is quite interesting. It can only be done using a laser printer. You can create a settings mode to create an embossed image. This is one way laser printers are inexpensively changed to braille embossers. I imagine the effect on the stamp, created with software to show more embossed sections would be quite an interesting creation (during and after the process).
