Overprinting black in the separation

It can be cheaper and easier to have the print shop overprint black on the press. You can choose whether to overprint black when printing or saving selected separations.

See Step 2: Select overprint options for overlapping colors.

To overprint black in the separation:

1. Under Options in the Separation Setup dialog box, select Overprint Black.

Note: The Overprint Black option works only for objects that have the color black applied through values in the K channel. It does not work for objects that appear black because of their transparency settings or styles.

2. Specify another separation option, or click OK.
