overprints
Printed-over postal marks
Overprints are additional markings printed on top of something already printed—most commonly postage stamps.
A stamp might receive an overprint to change its value, commemorate an event, or adapt it for use in a different territory: The stamps were overprinted with the new currency.
The verb overprint describes this process.
In photography, an overprint is a double exposure or superimposed image.
