Q: What is overprinting?
A: Overprinting: Printing over an area that has already been printed (Double Printing). Often used in color printing in order to enhance a particular color, or contrast and distinguish a particular color from other similar colors. Usually a darker color is placed on top of a lighter one, with the exception of metallic colors which are opaque and can go over darker colors as well.
