imported eps logo and can't overprint

[Ewa272094899csk]

Hi, everybody, this is my problem 😞 I have placed an eps file with logo, 100% black, and it doesn't overprint. Everything else - another logo, text - do. Here I am left with white place when I check it. Could you pls help  I would be so grateful.

You need to set the overprint in the file itself.

Was it created in Illustrator?

Open the file - and select the Black text/objects and change the Overprint for fill/stroke appropriately.

Nope, doesn't work :(. There is even no option of overprint in the atributes palette in indesign.

The file itself need this property. If you open it in Illustrator and correct it, you should save it as PDF/X-4 and use that to avoid EPS in the future.

Saving as PDFX4 doesn't fix the issue.

I would say saving as an Illustrator .ai file would be better.

But there's nothing wrong with using EPS - I use them daily for an organisation that has 100s of artworkers worldwide and use EPS every day with no issues.

If it was supplied to me as .eps - I open, fix the overprint issue, and resave as same file format.

I wouldn't change file format on supplied.
