Overprint Settings Detected

Our system detected that the "Overprint" attribute has been applied to certain objects or text in your file.

Why This Matters for Printing Normally, when you place one colored object over another, the printer "knocks out" the background color so the top color prints on blank paper. "Overprint" tells the printer to print the top ink directly over the bottom ink. While useful for specialized prepress tasks, accidentally leaving Overprint turned on can cause disastrous results: it can make colors blend into muddy brown, or cause white text to completely disappear from the final print!

How to Fix This Issue You need to turn off the overprint settings in your design software:

  • Adobe Illustrator: Select all your artwork (Ctrl+A / Cmd+A). Open the Attributes panel (Window > Attributes). Ensure that both the Overprint Fill and Overprint Stroke checkboxes are completely unchecked (blank).

Need more help? Overprint issues can sometimes hide inside complex logos or imported vector graphics. If you are struggling to find the culprit, try flattening your artwork or reach out to our team!
