Got a logo I've just created with 2 pantone's and overprint black.
Can anyone describe to me how I can convert the whole logo to just full colour without it loosing the look it has in overprint preview?Cheers,

Duplicate logo. Convert pantones to CMYK (make sure in the swatch palette you change the Spot Colors option in the dropdown arrow menu to Use Lab colors or whatever it's called). Slice shapes accordingly so that you have a vector shape for the overlaps. Add respective CMYK values together to get the overlapped color. Done.

the black will still print as an overprint on a CMYK press.
but if you want to simulate the look of an overprint, simplest trick would be to change the transparency on said object to >multiply.

Oh yeah, what horton said is much much quicker. I like to do things the hard way though...
