Re-entry

 under construction 

A re-entry is a correction made to a printing plate, most often done for an engraved stamp. With plate wear, then the master die will be used to reinforce parts of a design on some stamp. This will show as traces of doubling or tripling in some parts of some stamps. In other cases, the whole stamp design will be removed from a plate and a new full design will be entered. It is different from a retouch, minor to major corrections done by hand.
