greenskin Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi Affinity Team This is a follow up from what I mentioned above... I have set the global colour to 80% black and ticked "overprint", but when I few my press-ready artwork in Acrobat Distiller and turn off the Black (Separations) it is knocking it out from the background colour instead of the assigned "overprint" it should be doing so the background colour is preserved! This is a biggie so please please please don't forget about it! The "overprint" is not working! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_K Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi greenskin This is a known issue. For now you can work round this by making a black spot colour for items you wish to overprint and that should work ok Cheers Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenskin Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi Chris_K Thanks for helping out! So you are saying for now I can make any spot colour assign it to the text over a coloured region (like my file above) and it will act as an "overprint" and not knockout when viewed in plate separation mode before it goes onto the press? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
