Posted in: #AdobeIndesign #Prepress #PrintProduction #Varnish

I am working on a multipage document for a client. On the first page (the document cover) we need to overlay some basic shapes (squares) and prepare these to be varnished in production. My experience with this is limited, but i do know in theory all shapes to be varnished should be:

sitting on a separate layer
marked with a separate Spot color
set to Overprint in the Attributes panel
not sure about exporting: should I deliver the first page (the cover) separately with the Varnish layer only, or should I include this in a complete PDF export?

Any other things to consider?

Note: i did find the other similar questions related to this, but there is no mention of overprint there, so i posted this new question. Thanks

: Why is the text behaving like this? Look at this, it is impossible to get the text to behave normally now. I want the text to be two separate lines. I press enter to get it to change line.

Make sure your varnished elements tint is 100% and that no gradient is applied.

Make sure the strokes (if any) are also set to Overprint.

Another way (not better, just different) to set overprinting is to select all elements and apply Multiplication effect.
