Hello NicholasC
I don't see any doubling. Only areas where the ink isn't completely filled in. I don't remember the term for that.. don't believe it's "under inking", but maybe others will chime in.

It does happen occasionally though, so it's always good to compare it with a fresh copy:

Here is an example of a double transfer. The ink is always in places that it shouldn't be when compared with the original design:

I don't remember the source but I remember reading that cheap fast drying ink was given as a possible cause, another being irregular wetting. A worn plate coupled with the above could also be at fault.
