Solid black TIFF should overprint.

I have a Solid 100% greyscale Tiff file with a path that is knocking out of my CMY plates. I want it to overprint but the only option in the attributes menu is "non-printing" how can I get this tiff to overprint instead of knock out?? (I have not yet printed the page I just see this happening in the Output preview menu.)

In the transparency palette, set the blend mode to multiply.

Or, change the image's mode to Bitmap.

That's likely to kill the quality of the image.

So I think my solution would work. It is also more production friendly, in that it doesn't require transparency or flattening.

Grayscale has 256 possible shades. Bitmap has two.

Try it yourself. Take a grayscale photo and change its color mode to
bitmap. I think you'll see what I'm talking about immediately.

Maybe some clarification is needed. I interpreted "Solid 100% greyscale Tiff file" as meaning the TIFF only uses black and white (no shades below 100%). I now see that it could mean that the opacity is 100%. If the former is true, then I stand by my earlier suggestion. If the former is true, then only Multiply will do it.
