How can different printing techniques be recognized in stamps?
I have already looked at several sites and then try to associate the correct printing technique with a stamp, but I am always confronted with the fact that it is still slightly different
is as I thought.
Does anyone know of anything I can do to find out more about this?

To learn more about printing techniques relevant to stamps, Thom-postzegel you should first read through these 3 techniques.

Letterpress - Wikipedia
Intaglio printing - Wikipedia
Planographic printing - Wikipedia

Relief printing refers to, for example, letterpress printing and embossing.
Planographic printing, for example on lithography and offset printing, and intaglio printing on steel intaglio printing and raster intaglio printing.

If you know these printing techniques, you can often see the difference. But some depth is necessary here.
