Rendering white lines
between text and background
inconspicuous (black overprint)
If imaging 100% black text on a colored
background, you can print (overprint) by
overlaying the text and background parts. Set if
there are gaps such as white lines, etc., in the
borders between the text and background.
Note
z
Not usable with some applications.
z
Cannot be used if the text is not 100% black, the text has
been rendered as graphics by selecting the outlines, or if
the text is an image.
For example, if using Microsoft Ofce applications with
Windows XP/Windows Server 2003, and printing large text
using TrueType fonts, black overprint is disabled as the
text is replaced with graphics images by the application.
z
If the background color is dark (the toner layer thickness
exceeds 240%), the toner may not be xed securely. For
example, if printing 100% black text on backgrounds
of 50% cyan, 50% magenta, or 50% yellow, the toner
layer thickness is 50+50+50+100=250%, which exceeds
240%.
z
Cannot be used with Windows XPS printer drivers.
