Overprinting is a technique to compensate for slight misregistration that might
occur on the press when printing separations.
When one colored object overlaps another, by default, the top object cuts out the
overlapped portion when separations are printed on the press. If the press is
misregistered, the printed overlap can show knockout—a small white border
between the overlapping objects. You can compensate for knockout by setting
objects to overprint and mix colors underneath.
