How to Set Overprint for Export

Overprint is a printing technique used in the prepress and production stages of printing where one color is intentionally printed on top of another. This can affect the final appearance of colors and is commonly used for achieving specific visual effects or ensuring print accuracy in certain situations.

Overprint is a global setting in Design Huddle that will effect all colors with a specific SPOT name. To set a color(s) to overprint, follow these steps. 

  1. Send support@designhuddle.com the list of SPOT colors to be set for Overprint
  2. Design Huddle team will confirm that these are set

Once set any colors with this name will be set to Overprint. Keep in mind that SPOT colors are maintained on PDF import into Design Huddle.
