However if C 1 is set for the Forward object as in Fig 2 overprinting and transparency generate completely different results As in this example if there are no cyan components in the Forward objects when overprinting is set the C 100 of the Backward is visible through the Forward objects but if there are cyan components in the Forward objects the cyan is overprinted so the overlapping areas of the Backward objects are no longer visible If transparency is set the Backward objects continue to be visible through the Forward objects even if the same changes are added The behavior of the program is similar for overprinting and transparency so one may be used for the other during internal processing in the application What is important is that if you make appropriate transparency division settings and set all overprints to load in Trueflow the data is processed correctly Fig 1 Fig 2 C o S C Y K Forward 0 0 0 Forward 1 Backward 100 0 0 Backward 100 lsz Y 0 0 OLO Although overprint is rarely set for process colors intentionally it is important to check whether such a case has occurred mistakenly In addition if it is necessary to have non K process colors be overprinted as an intentional part of the design using transparency to achieve the same overprint results as in Fig 1 makes it possible to accurately communicate the intention of the design to the prepress department
