    Use multiply if you're not overprinting! This is getting ridiculous.

    Overprinting is LITERALLY printing one color over another. For example, printing a spot light blue over black, or vice versa. Sometimes that color does well on top of black, which is NOTHING like multiply.

    Multiply is a filter popularized in old-school photoshops, and then in Photoshop. It just adds the color values together on screen and creates a new color. It's something you use to get that desired effect, but it should never be confused with or compared to overprinting.
