Hi Ken, thanks for the answer! I guess I’ve found the reason: http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695916#c7 Comment says the following: > Michael Vrhel 2015-04-12 10:54:35 PDT > Fixed with http://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=e8142ce7390e2686456894a602df07d8de16a7c7 > > This was caused by the simulated overprinting work that had been done sometime ago. Unfortunately this method is not adequate for every case and we need to do this in a different fashion. Simulated overprinting of spot colors is therefore removed for now (for non-separation devices). Since this commit came after the 9.16 release, 9.16 still does ovp sim of spot colors. Do you by chance have any insight about the status of the new method mentioned in http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695925?
