To print colors transparently by
overprinting:
1 Select the object or objects that you
want to overprint. This example shows
the yellow and magenta fills selected.
2 Choose Object > Paint Style.
3 In the color selection options, select
the Fill Overprint option.
If you use the Overprint option on a
100% black stroke or fill, the black ink
may not be opaque enough to prevent
the underlying ink colors from showing
through. To eliminateshow-through, use
a four-color (rich) black instead of a
100% black. Consult with your print
shop about the exact percentages of
color to add to the black.
