How to Overprint Spot Data in Illustrator

Spot Flood Fill Layers
If a spot flood layer were required in this file, it would be necessary to place flood data above the
image data layer in order for the Rip to properly process the Spot data. In this case, you would
need to select Overprinting, in order for image data not to be obliterated by spot flood. To
properly view the image ensure that Overprint Preview is selected. See images below for a
representation of how this will appear.
NOTE
When processing this file in ProductionHouse, media layers must be set up with a spot layer to
represent this data, as Illustrator identifies this as a Spot, rather than a flood layer.
