Question by player zorba_scank

Answer: Stamp collecting

A watermark is a design or image pressed into paper during the manufacturing process. Some watermarks are easily visible when the paper is held up to the light; others are more difficult to see. Watermarks are especially important to stamp collectors. Often two stamps that appear identical to the naked eye will vary greatly in value when the watermark of the paper on which they are printed is taken into account. Most collectors place the stamp into a black container filled with a liquid called "watermark fluid" to make the watermark visible.

There are also machines which do not require fluid to reveal the watermark.
