Paper Paper is a built-in swatch that simulates the paper color on which you're printing.
Objects behind a paper-colored object won't print where the paper-colored object
overlaps them. Instead, the color of the paper on which you print shows through. You can
edit the Paper color to match your paper stock by double-clicking it in the Swatches
palette. Use the Paper color for previewing only—it will not be printed on a composite
printer or in color separations. You can't remove this swatch. Do not apply the Paper
swatch to remove color from an object. Use the None swatch instead.
Note: If the Paper color is not working as described, and you are printing to a PCL printer,
try switching your printer driver to Raster Graphics mode.
