I am planning to record a new video for my YouTube channel about the Maltese 1965 definitive set. This set had so many errors and varieties I want to try and find out why this happened, but so far I am having no luck. There are almost 50 errors listed in SG catalogue and I know of many more unlisted varieties. Harrison & Sons were a good, well established printers so what was going on?
Any help with this topic would be gratefully appreciated.

I came across this "variety" in my collection. The 2/- stamp on the right has a stain, like water running down the doorstep, the one on the left for comparison.
John Trory mentions a variety with "line across doorstep", could this be it? Is this just a result of over inking, or is it something else. I do not know the position or plate this comes from and don't have enough other copies, so can't research further at the moment.
Has anyone come across it before.
