COLORWISE PRINT OPTIONS 21
Composite Overprint
When overlapping objects are printed, the foreground object can either overprint or knock
out the background object. With overprinting, the color of the background object shows
through the foreground object where they overlap, and the resulting color is a combination of
the colors of the two objects. With a knock-out, the foreground object hides the background
object where they overlap.
The Composite Overprint print option allows you to print overprinted objects as specified in
the source file. By default, the Composite Overprint print option is off and overlapping
objects print as knockouts.
NOTE: The Composite Overprint option does not overprint the foreground object if it is an
RGB object.
The Composite Overprint print option is supported for PostScript and PDF jobs produced
by the following applications:
• Adobe Acrobat
• Adobe Illustrator
• Adobe InDesign
• Adobe FreeHand
• QuarkXPress
•CorelDRAW
The 2-Color Print Mapping option is ignored when Composite Overprint is enabled.
The 2-Color Print Mapping option is a feature of the Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium
Edition, which is an option to the EX700i Print Server.
If Composite Overprint is enabled for a job that contains spot colors, Spot-On must be
enabled on the EX700i.
