Simulate or discard overprinting

In most cases, only separation devices support overprinting. When you print to a composite, or when your artwork contains overprinted objects that interact with transparency objects, you choose to simulate or discard overprinting.

  1. Choose File > Print.
  2. Select Advanced on the left side of the Print dialog box.
  3. Select Simulate or Discard from the Overprints menu.
