During refine, dieline knocks out instead of overprinting


Product

  Prinergy 1.1

Platform

 

Operating system

 


Error

 


Symptoms

 

During refining, a spot color that has been assigned the DIELINE opacity in the Color Space Editor will be knocked out, so that the dieline will be visible no matter what colors are under it. This feature results in the dieline knocking out in all colors. This behaviour is currently not reflected in Prinergy 1.1 documentation.


Cause

 

Solution

 

In the global or per job Color Space Editor, set your dieline color to TRANSPARENT and then re-refine your PDF. The dieline color will now overprint all other colors.

Note: You must re-refine and then do a second refine that includes map colors for this setting to take effect.

Permanent fix:
