We’re dealing with CMYK text, which means that the resulting color in the overlapping part of the
objects (the intersection) depends on the overprint mode:
• In standard overprint mode (OPM 0), a tint value of 0 % of one or more of the CMYK inks in the
foreground object has a knockout effect on the underlying objects.
• In Illustrator overprint mode (OPM 1), a tint value of 0 % of one or more of the CMYK inks in
the foreground object is ignored.
Depending on the overprint mode, the result will look like this:
Illustrator overprint mode (OPM 1)Standard overprint mode (OPM 0)
C: 10 %C: 0 %
M: 20 %M: 0 %
Y: 30 %Y: 0 %
K: 50 %K: 50 %
But, suppose we convert the text to an image where all the pixels have the same color, i.e. 0 %
cyan, 0 % magenta, 0 % yellow and 50 % black.
The foreground and the background object are in the same color space (CMYK), which means that
the foreground image object defines the percentages.
The resulting color in the overlapping part of the objects (the intersection) will be as follows:
