PrintSeparations.AlwaysOverprintBlack property

Specifies whether the black objects should be always overprinted

Syntax:

Property Get AlwaysOverprintBlack() As Boolean
Property Let AlwaysOverprintBlack(ByVal Value As Boolean)

Remarks:

The AlwaysOverprintBlack specifies a Boolean (True or False) value that indicates whether whether black is always overprinted.

Examples:

The following VBA example creates a new document and inserts two overlapping rectangles. Uniform fills of different colors (cyan and magenta) are applied to the rectangles, and an outline of 24pt is added to the overlying rectangle. Before the document is printed, separations are enabled.

Sub Test()
Dim doc As Document
Dim s As Shape
Set doc = CreateDocument
With doc
  Set s = .ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(2.209685, 8.809291, 5.742913, 6.196693, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 0, 100, 0
  s.Outline.Type = cdrNoOutline
  Set s = .ActiveLayer.CreateRectangle(3.578189, 7.838898, 7.285591, 5.251181, 0, 0, 0, 0)
  s.Fill.UniformColor.CMYKAssign 0, 100, 0, 0
  s.Outline.Width = 0.333335
  With .PrintSettings.Separations

 .Enabled = True

 .AlwaysOverprintBlack = False
  End With
  .PrintOut
End With 
End Sub
