Hey everyone,
What is your solution to proofing CMYK + White ink jobs ?
We sometimes have issues with the customer not undertstanding overprint, knock out etc and the position of design elements in their files.
Do you just give them a proof with their separations? Educate them to use Acrobat to proof?

Re: Proofing White Ink + CMYK
We often have this issue - a lot of the pdf viewers that our customer have don't show things like overprint.
How I get around it often depends on the particular artwork.

- Sometimes I'll rasterise the artwork to simulate the overprint of a white spot.
- If the art is more complex I'll have 3 versions of the file in a layout - 1 showing a composite file (like the rasterised version as before),
1 showing the colour info only, and 1 showing the white only. - Or if the white is only going under colour, I'll often send the proof with the white spot removed.
