colorasdescribedabove,makingsureto:
l
Matchthecolor’snametothatofthespotcolorusedintheprinter.
l
ChecktheoptionSpot color.
l
Ifapplicable,checktheOverprintoptionforthisspotcolor.Overprintingreferstotheprocessof
printingonecolorontopofothercolors.Thisissometimesrequired,forexampletodealwithspe-
cialprintapplications,suchasapplyingUVinkorvarnishtoacertainarea,ortoavoidmis-regis-
trationwhenprintingblackontopofcoloredareas.
