What it does
Allows you to change the overprint mode of a selection to Standard overprint (OPM 0) or
Illustrator overprint mode (OPM 1).
About overprint modes
- In Standard overprint mode (OPM 0), the tint value 0 of one of the CMYK
inks in the foreground object has a knockout effect on the color rendering of
the underlying object. In other words, a foreground ink with a C, M, Y or K
value of 0 % erases the corresponding background ink. Here, the “foreground inks
win” principle applies.
- In Illustrator overprint mode (OPM 1), the tint value 0 is neutral: it is
ignored (as if it were “not specified”) and has therefore no effect on the color
rendering of the underlying object.
