Procedure
1. Select the spot data object or objects that you want to overprint and place these above the image
data layer that you would like to print. Or if you want them on the same layer the spot data
objects should be in front of the image data.
[73] Overprint Preview
NOTE
After you set overprinting options, you should use the Overprint Preview mode (View >
Overprint Preview) to see an approximation of how the overprinting colors will print by
providing an "ink preview" that approximates how transparency and overprinting will
appear in output.
2. In the Attributes panel, select Overprint Fill, Overprint Stroke, or both.
NOTE
While it is possible to set Overprint opacity levels less than 100%, ProductionHouse
software only processes full opacity data. The opacity of regular knockout spot data
can be set as desired.
[74] Overprint Attributes
The images below shows white spot data with knockout and overprinting. In this case the spot
data is meant to knockout in order to appear as white in the final document.
