	Computer Arts - Overprint in Photoshop
		Overprinting occurs when an image, object or text is set to print over the top of the images beneath it.
		There’s an element of experimentation when using overprint, since the computer screen is not able to show exactly what the final outcome will be.
		This helps to put the designer back in touch with the printing process and tests and develops experience, because overprinting needs to be evaluated on a job-by-job basis.

	Siam Scout Fund Stamp Fakes and Forgeries
		We have examined scores of overprinted stamps with star marks on the back; none were on stamps with genuine overprints.
		The 'Wrong Stamp' Forgeries If the overprint is printed on a stamp that has not been identified in the catalogs as a stamp with a Scout's Fund overprint, then, although there are a very few known exceptions, the overprint is probably a forgery.
		While further research is needed to be specific about whether the 1912 Vienna printing or the 1918 London printing, some forged overprints are on stamps which either have a wrong surcharge value or are simply not a stamp that was overprinted for the Scout's fund.

	Overprint
		An overprint is the addition of text (and sometimes graphics) to the face of a postage stamp after it has been printed.
		In many cases, countries have resorted to overprinting revenue stamps[?], telegraph stamps[?], and seemingly anything else they could find that was perforated and gummed - and, in the worst case - stamps that had been previously surcharged.
		The United States used this strategy to deal with thefts in Kansas and Nebraska in 1929, overprinting the common stamps of the time with "Kans." and "Nebr." (surviving examples are scarce and prized, the 10c priced at over $100 in 2000).

	Special mark of overprint
		Overprint is a process where additional information are applied over the printed stamps by machine-printing or handstamp process to convey some vital information or messages to the public.
		Early overprints were done in special or on emergency situation but the present overprints are purposely reflected, perhaps it acts as an ‘advertisement’ media, probably to raise funds for some associations or exhibitions.
		When overprints are connected with different themes of the original stamp, it reveals an excellent philatelic illustration for the theme connected with the overprints.

	Private overprint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Private overprints, in philately, are overprints (pictures, text, or a combination of the two), usually rubberstamped though occasionally applied by some other method, to postage stamps (or, occasionally, postal stationery) used by some person or entity other than a government or other official stamp-issuing entity.
		For instance, German sympathisers in the Sudetenland privately overprinted Czechoslovakian stamps with swastikas before the annexation, and in Italy, after the fall of Mussolini and his establishment of the Italian Social Republic, stamps of the King were overprinted with fasces by Fascist sympathizers.
		A private overprint exists on the Florida commemorative, and during the Vietnam War, a woman privately overprinted the stamps on her outgoing mail with the slogan "Pray for War" before postal authorities compelled her to move this stamping away from the stamps.

	THE STAMPS OF THE 37-CENT RATE ERA
		The June 21 stamp is nearly a "three strikes" stamp since the overprint is inverted as well as in error, but that is a sidelight on the error itself, not an independent feature.
		The red overprint is on a white line in stars variety—the only June 30 mint overprinted stamp showing this variety; this is one of two pairs of line in star and dented star overprinted stamps.
		From this $27.30 set, one stamp was removed to be used as a single solo on first day cover showing the red overprint and another example of the dot in the cancel; this stamp shows the white line in stars variety and is the other first day cover so showing.

	Fake overprints on eBay - "atdinvest" article [eBay - forgeries, fakes, dodgy sellers, scams: the TOTI]
		Fake Specimen overprints in varying fonts using fl or red ink were listed from April through to August 2001, when they were then combined into bulk lots to get rid of the remainders.
		The sans serif "SPECIMEN", seriffed "SPECIMEN" and seriffed "Spécimen" overprints were added to stamps of a wide variety of countries, ranging from as early as 1903, 1953 and 1898 to as late as 1982, 1991and 1990 respectively.
		While it appears that the Wallis and Futuna "France Libre" overprints may have been made from ink used in the 1950s and 1960s, the ink of others, including that of the seriffed "Spécimen" overprints and all handstamps on "pieces of paper", is of a more modern type.

		When overprinting process color mixes or custom colors that do not share common ink colors, the overprint color is added to the background color.
		If you use the Overprint option on a 100% fl stroke or fill, the fl ink may not be opaque enough to prevent the underlying ink colors from showing through.

	Forged Dollard-style overprint on Scott Great Britain 172
		That leaves the unpalatable possibility that the overprint may be a forgery, created by a forger who didn't know that the overprint he'd chosen didn't belong on the 1/- stamp.
		.If the cancel and overprint overlap on your copy and you have a strong magnifier, you may be able to confirm that the overprint on your 1/- stamp is a fake.
		If the overprint is printed over the cancellation, it is a forgery." This latter point is difficult to determine; it would certainly appear, though, that the letters and numerals of the overprint are much less fine than is usual, and many of the individual letters appear eccentric (note the "h" in "héireann", for example).

	Alphabetilately: O is for Overprint
		In the post-WWII period there were many overprints associated with the transition from wartime to peacetime, and the re-establishment of local governments in occupied areas such as Trieste.
		The overprints were applied to the then-current stamps in use in the rest of the country, which were and are quite plentiful, so even today it's easy to find the un-overprinted versions and add one's own imitation of the overprint.
		The true overprints were fairly crude and boring, but unscrupulous parties took advantage of the confusion, and of the trusting nature of collectors, and created bogus overprints for imaginary countries.

	Apple - Pro - Techniques - Overprinting Colours, p1
		Overprinting one colour on top of another is a traditional way of mixing two or more colours.
		So while overprinting 50 percent cyan on 30 percent yellow would work as expected (the overlapping area gets darker), overprinting 50 percent cyan on a mixture of 30 percent yellow and 75 percent cyan would not — the result is lighter than the underlying colour.
		Simulating the overprint is only for a rough proof of what the colours will look like.

		The whole overprint is too short, and it differs from the genuine in many respects.
		The overprint is hardstruck with a watery, bleary ink, and the lines are almost lost so that one sees an almost solid figure the color of a dense fog viewed in the day time.

	Papua New Guinea 1994 "Emergency Overprint" stamp set - the REAL story!
		It should firstly be understood that the reason for the great bulk of the overprinting was purely and simply to satisfy postal needs, due to increases in rates, and to a large extent, a genuine shortage of the 21t letter rate stamps.
		A reprint of the thin overprint was apparently done later to ensure some supplies were available for the 1995 annual pack, which was delayed for 6 months as a result.
		The first overprint had been a light impression, and the printer had ran the sheet through again, with correct inking, but mis-registered it, to a full 3mm to the left of the original print.
