A guide for overprint in Photoshop

Overprinting is a technique used in print design to mask registration errors and create deeper, more vibrant colors. While it’s commonly used in vector-based software, it can also be achieved in Photoshop using blending modes.

Key points:

  • Blending modes: The Multiply mode is often used for overprinting, but other modes like Darken can produce better results in certain scenarios.
  • Color management: Accurate color management is essential for successful overprinting.
  • Limitations: Overprinting can introduce unexpected color shifts, especially when using complex color combinations.
  • Best practices: Consider the specific requirements of your project and experiment with different blending modes to achieve the desired results.

For more detailed information on overprinting techniques and best practices, refer to the full article.
