Overprinting

About overprinting

If you have not changed the transparency of your artwork with the Transparency panel, the fills and strokes in the

artwork will appear opaque, because the top color knocks out, or cuts out, the area underneath. You can prevent

knockout by using the Overprint options in the Attributes panel. After you’ve set your overprint options, you can

preview the overprinting effects on-screen.

InDesign also has overprint simulation, which is useful for simulating the effects of overprinting spot and process inks

on a composite printing device.

Black ink applied to text or native InDesign objects is overprinted by default to prevent misregistration of small black-

type characters positioned over color areas, or of color areas outlined with black lines. You can change black ink settings

using Appearance Of Blackpreferences.
