Adjusting Color with a Printer Driver
Suppressing White Lines
Between Text and the
Background
(Black Overprint)
If you are imaging 100% black text on a colored
background, you can print (overprint) by
overlaying the text and background parts. Set if
there are gaps such as white lines, etc., in the
borders between the text and background.
Note
z
Not usable with some applications.

Black overprint cannot be used if the text is not 100%
black, the text has been rendered as graphics by
extracting the outlines, or if the text is an image.
z
If the background color is dark (toner layer thickness
exceeds 240%), toner may not be fixed completely. For
example, if printing 100% black text on backgrounds of
50% cyan, 50% magenta, and 50% yellow, the toner
layer thickness is 50+50+50+100=250%, which exceeds
240%.
