Black Overprint
This option is available for PS/PDF. You can choose whether or not to overprint on the black
portion of an input color space, without printing the under-color. The Black Overprint option is
available on the Color tab of the Properties window. When this option is selected, the black of
the input color space is overprinted.
This is only effective for PS/PDF data and applies only to characters and graphics, not images.
Color Characteristics
Color characteristics are displayed on the Color tab of the Job Properties window. The window is
divided for Upstream and Downstream printers. The Upstream refers to the first printer,
Downstream is the second printer. If you are using a simplex printer, you will make selections for
only the Upstream printer. If selections are made for a duplex configuration printer, selections
will need to be made for both the Upstream and the Downstream printer. The following
information is pertinent for both Upstream and Downstream printers.
