The Dish on
Overprinting
One term you may have
heard, and not understood,
is overprinting. Simply put,
overprinting blends the color
of an object (like some text)
with the color of an underly-
ing object. For example, if
a background is 100% cyan
(blue) and the text is 100%
magenta, the areas that
overlap look violet.
In Acrobat 9, overprint
simulation is on by default.
For an individual document,
you can deselect the Simulate
Overprinting check box in the
Output Preview dialog.
By the way, the opposite of
overprint is knockout, where
the overlying object’s color
is opaque.
