A UK royalmail online stamp which doesn't print correctly

My experience is the other way around.

The UK postal service allow you to print stamps online (they come with a unique 2d barcode). The service is web based and provides you with a PDF to print and attach to your envelope. The on screen rendering contains a 'watermark' across the whole image which is supposed to be absent once printed. Using Evince the 'watermark' is present on the printed version rendering it useless.

The watermark in this case is the word 'Sample' written in large letters diagonally across the middle and a box containing 'Sample will not appear when printed'. Unfortunately when using Evince this is a lie!

I have reported this to Ubuntu which is what led me here.
