RE-ENTRIES.COM Victoria Re-entries and Double Strikes Early Victorian stamps were printed by typography, not line engraved, so there are numerous examples of typographed stamps that show signs of doubling, BUT are NOT re-entries. See the first item below taken from L.N. Williams’ master work, FUNDAMENTALS OF PHILATELY, Revised Edition, 1990, pp 471, published by the American Philatelic Society, State College, Pennsylvania. This basically explains the process. (Do not forget that re-entries ONLY occurred on line-engraved stamps!)
