Can't disable process color/black overprints


Product

  Prinergy 1.0; Prinergy 1.1

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

Can't disable process color/black overprints.

A bottom element can "shine" through a top element, sometime with very ugly effects. The classic illustration is when a solid-color logo is placed on top of a CT image, and you can see the CT placed under the logo.


Cause

  Improper selections by the graphic designer. An element can be selected to either overprint or knockout.

Customer with a Brisque workflow are not used to proofing to catch incorrect overprints, as the Brisque automatically disables overprints.

Also, Acrobat Viewer does not show overprinting properly on-screen.


Solution

 

Go back to the application that created the file and manually click off overprints, if desired (sometimes, overprints are what a customer wants).

Note: This is fixed in 2.0: the user can set the same settings as Brisque/PreScript as part of the ColorMatcher.

Permanent fix: Prinergy 2.0
