Your design workflow may require a certain color to be set to overprint. For example, you want to print all the text in your publication in a specific color. Consider the following options:. Create an object style that uses the spot ink as the fill or stroke with a matching overprint fill or stroke. Apply overprint settings to an image or object and add it to your library, or edit a placed file in its original application.
Instead, you specify a CMYK stroke color that uses the higher value from the corresponding inks in each original color. Make sure that you and your prepress service provider agree on when and how to overprint manually, because doing so will significantly affect trapping options specified in the Print dialog box. You can overprint strokes or fills, paragraph rules, and rules above footnotes. You can also simulate overprinting of spot colors. You can overprint strokes or fills of any selected paths using the Attributes panel.
Consult with your service provider about the exact percentages of color to add to the black. When using a stroke to trap objects but not text characters , adjust the stroke alignment so the stroke falls outside the path or object, rather than inside or centered on the path.
When using a stroke to trap two spot colors or a spot and a process color, you usually apply the lighter color to the stroke, and overprint the stroke. Cyan bottom layer B. Magenta middle layer C. Yellow top layer. To overprint the fill of selected objects, or to overprint unstroked type, select Overprint Fill.
To overprint a color applied to the spaces in a dashed, dotted, or patterned line, select Overprint Gap. The Overprint Stroke and Overprint Gap options in the Paragraph Rules dialog box can be saved as part of a paragraph style.
InDesign can automatically insert a rule to separate footnotes from the body of the document. You can choose to overprint the rule. Overprint simulation is useful for simulating the effects of overprinting spot inks with different neutral density values for example, red and blue.
