The stamps that were printed in the period of Postmaster Agah Efendi, were made using the black lithography on white paper technique with paint applied to them by sponge and they were prepared without perforations.
  Stamp production started with the lithography technique and progressed to typography, plate print, photogravure over time and from 1941 to 2011 offset printing was used and starting in the year 2011 the digital printing technique was used to print stamps within the capacity of the Post and Telegraph Organization.
