My boss sent me an ai. file of a logo the company I work for has used in the past so I can look at how it is set up for printing because I am going to be sending him some logos and need to know how to set them up for how they print them. (They are printed on to transfer paper and used with a heat press). All the objects in the logo were grouped together so I ungrouped them too see how each object is individually set up. Looking at a couple parts of the logo individually, I saw that some objects have overprint stroke set to the box with a dash in it ("-") which I'm assuming means its on since if it was off the box would just be empty. But the objects don't have a stroke applied to them at all. So assuming that overprint stroke set to the box with a dash in it means it's on, why would it be on since the objects don't have a stroke? And if the box with a dash in it means that overprint stroke is off, why wouldn't the box just be empty? Also, my Separations Preview dialog is greyed out and doesn't list any colors in the file. When I switch to another file (one that wasn't sent to me by my boss) the Seperations Preview dialog is not greyed out and lists all the colors. Any ideas why it's like this only for the file my boss sent me?
Heres a picture with a single object in the logo selected. Overprint Preview is on, and the object has no stroke and doesn't appear to be overprinting, but Overprint Stroke is set to the box with a dash in it.
