Overprint layer?

[Jalan]

Hi all,

Happy Friday!
I have a multiple layered photoshop document. There is one layer that is 100% black text rasterized (with 300dpi antialiasing if that matters) that is sitting on top of a mutli-colored green background. When I preview the seps, the black is knocking out. Is there a way to tell the black raster text layer to overprint so when I flatten it, it doesn't have a knockout?

(I know I can clone stamp in the overprint, but I'm looking for a quicker solution.)

Thanks!

If the type is somewhat large, make it a rich black.

I usually end up saving text to a separate file, then combine in Quark. Usually it's to keep the text from becoming rasterized in rip though... don't know if it would overprint for sure if it's already a rasterized image and you place it over the background in Quark or InDesign.

I know that's not the answer you were looking for either, so hopefully someone knows more than me!

set the layer blending mode to multiply.

They just need an "Overprintiply" option.
