![]() ![]() I would like to say that this problem doesn't happen the whole time, but on some documents, every PNG I use will show this faint background. This is a single page flyer and is graphic heavy, which to me makes a lot of sense using Illy. I am not as comfortable with InDesign as with Illy, however I would use InDesign for a multiple page document. If I don't use PNG for my printing, I'm at loss as to how I can print a cutout picture with graphics added around it, and not get an ugly square background from the image! The page is red, so having a white square background to the image wouldn't look great! If you had an image of a product on a white background, can you recommend how to incorporate the image of the product into a print design, without including the white image background around the product?Ģ. You might be able to save it by flattening transparency and/or processing to PDF before printing (as opposed to printing directly from Illustrator), but the particulars of how you'd do that are dependent upon exactly what's in the file.ġ. The color modes of the document and all the vector objects in it are in play and likely mix-mismanaged. Perhaps the transparent image areas are interacting with spot colors. Sussing out the exact nature and direct cause of your output problems would require first-hand analysis of the file(s), but I suspect your RGB image files with PNG transparency are in "transparency blend space" conflict with (the colors used in) the underlying content. InDesign is much better equipped for mixing raster elements, vector elements, color, and transparency, in page layouts destined for print. Wrong choice #1 is compounded by the fact that you're using the wrong application for page layout.PNG and its transparency are not intended for print-destined workflow. You're using the wrong image format for printing. ![]() There's a problem with your workflow because you're doing something (several things) wrong. I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a problem with my workflow. I can use the "Bitmap" option, but I'd like to know if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a problem with my workflow. Does this have anything to do with the "Document Raster Settings" in the Effects panel? I've come up against this issue several times, and in sending files to print, a couple of printers we've used have had the same issue, but others don't seem to.Īny advice or help would be appreciated. Tried changing document colour mode to RGBĭoes anyone know why this does this, or any suggestions as to what makes this happen? In the default, the color handling is always set to "Let Illustrator determine colors". Tried saving as PDF and print from Acrobat with same print settings Same result as checking the "Print as Bitmap" box, except slightly more vibrant overall Ie, the page colour is the same colour as the "transparent" PNG backgrounds, where the PNG background was lighter in comparison to the surrounding page background.ĭefault print, but in the printer setup preferences, I changed the Print Finishing option to "Raster" This prints out correctly! However what seems strange, is that instead of the page being slightly darker, the whole page colour is the same colour as where the transparent PNG's had lightened it in previous printouts. Results in the faint white backgrounds as beforeĭefault print, but Advanced > Print as Bitmap checked Results in the faint white backgrounds as describedĭefault print, but Advanced > Overprints set to "Discard" I've tried changing several print options as below:ĭefault print (setup for best quality print) When I print this out, all the PNG's have a faint, white, semi-transparent background where they should be fully transparent. Our Server has Ghostscript 9.07 installed.I've designed a flyer in Illy which has some PNG's with transparent background. SVG and PSD files have no problems with transparency getting rendered to PNG from RGB or CYMK. I have tried implementing the results shown here: Convert PDF (with transparency *and* CMYK) to jpg with no success. When converting a RGB AI or PDF to PNG the transparency remains with the rendered PNG. When converting CMYK Illustrator AI or PDF to PNG the transparency get rendered with a white background. ![]()
