Setting the bleed
Thebleedistheprintablespacearoundapage.Itcanbeusedonsomeprinterstoensurethatno
unprintededgesoccurinthefinaltrimmeddocument.Thebleedisoneofthesettingsforasection.See
"Pagesettings:size,marginsandbleed"onpage135.
Overprint and black overprint
Normally,whentwocolorsoverlapinPrintoutput,theunderlyingcolorisnotprinted.Itis"knockedout",
fortworeasons:firstly,theunderlyingcolormayaffectthetopcolor,especiallyifthetopcolorislighter
thantheunderlyingcolor.Secondly,notprintinganunderlyingcolor,whichisnotvisibleanyway,will
saveinkortoner.
However,therearecaseswhenunderlyingcolorsshouldnotbeknockedout:
l
Ifthetopcolorisaspecial ink or toner,suchasvarnishorUV,itshouldgooveranyothercol-
ors,asitismeanttobetransparentandgooverothercontent.InConnectyoumayenableover-
printwhenyoudefineaspotcolor;see"Definingcolors,spotcolorsandtints"onpage288.
l
Ifsmall black textisprintedoveracoloredarea,mis-registrationmaycausewhiteareastobe
visiblearoundthetextiftheunderlyingcolorisknockedout.
Theoptiontoprintsmallblacktextoverothercolorsisreferredtoasblack overprint.Toenableblack
overprintfortextsmallerthanagivensize:
1. Right-clickthePrint contextintheResourcespaneandselectColor Output,orselectthe
MenuContext > Color Outputoption.
2. IntheText smaller thanfield,enteratextsize(inpoints,forexample:3pt).
Note: BlackoverprintonlyworkswithCMYKblack.
Converting RGB black to CMYK black
InPrintoutput,blackisbydefaultoutputasaCMYKcolor.RGBblackisconvertedintoCMYKblack.
Ifthatisnotdesirableforanyreason,itispossibletopreventit:
1. Right-clickthePrint contextintheResourcespaneandselectColor Output,orselectthe
MenuContext > Color Outputoption.
2. EnabletheKeep RGB black in outputoption.
InConnectversionspriorto2018.2,RGBblackwasnotautomaticallyconvertedtoCMYKblack.There-
fore,thisoptionisbydefaultenabledintemplatesmadewithanearlierversion.Innewtemplates,this
optionisdisabledbydefault.
