This is also my own translation.

This kind of printing is also called secondary ghost or secondary shadow printing.

I apologize. I thought I checked the language pair in the other questions you posted today, so I did not check the language pair in this question.
Note from asker:
You have, unintentionally or shall we say serendipitously, short circuited me to the two answers I needed. You did not realize that this question was "English only" as I needed a description of the feature before figuring out the translation. I now have an explanation and the correct translation; it turns out that your translation is also used by Al-Khatib.
