Knockout
Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003207
A printing technique where one color or object is removed from beneath another to prevent overprinting and color mixing. This creates a blank space in the underlying color where the top color will print directly onto the substrate. It is used to achieve clean color separation and avoid undesirable color shifts.
