![]() ![]() To activate overprinting, right-click any object shape, and choose Overprint Outline or Overprint Fill from the pop-up menu (see below). The outline applied to the silhouette on the left, and the fill applied to the silhouette on the right, are set to overprint. In the example shown below, two silhouetted images feature the same light-gray outline and a dark-gray fill on a multicolored background. With CorelDRAW, you can now see how overprinted colors are affected on-screen. In previous versions of CorelDRAW, you could apply overprints to your object fill or outline so that the colors overprinted any underlying colors, but doing so often required a little imagination (and memory work) to keep track of what you overprinted. In simplistic terms, this technique overlays one color onto another and is commonly referred to as overprinting. If you want, you can preserve the areas layered behind the fill, or outline portions of the foreground object, so that the colors are overlaid. This happens automatically and behind the scenes, in conformity with established digital printing standards. Typically, when you print from CorelDRAW, the nonvisible portions of objects layered behind other objects are removed - an occurrence called a knockout. Let's take a closer look at some of the benefits this new feature gives you. It's another of those neat features that you won't see in most other graphics programs. With this new feature, you can check your overprinted colors on-screen before proofing or printing your work. ![]() In case you haven't heard, however, CorelDRAW features an enhanced view that displays live overprinting results. If you have used a previous version of CorelDRAW® to create designs or illustrations destined for print reproduction, you probably know that you can use various overprinting options. The applications and features described in this tutorial require CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 or newer to be installed. Enhanced View in CorelDRAW Displays Overprinting By Steve Bain
