overprinted
Printed atop something
Overprinted describes something printed on top of existing printing.
Stamps are overprinted with new values or commemorative marks.
Currency may be overprinted to indicate revaluation.
In printing, overprinting layers one color atop another rather than knocking out the underlying ink: The logo was overprinted in black on the yellow background.
