I got an answer from my printer to the example I have shown in this thread:
\framed[% width=80mm,height=50mm, background=color, backgroundcolor=myc, ]
{\startcolorintent[overprint]2 Overprinted or not?\stopcolorintent}
His answer in german: "Die Texte, welche auf Kasten 2 stehen, sind innerhalb Ihrer erzeugten Datei zwar alle überdruckend eingestellt, visuell allerdings aussparend."
My translation: The text on box 2 is formated as overprinted but visualy spared out.
What the hell is going on?
Regards Jannis
