Thanks again. In earlier versions of InDesign, I could place the file as an eps or Photoshop file and retain the transparency. But not in CS6. Right now, it looks like I will have to eliminate all previous work that involved black lines overprinting backgrounds with gradations of any sort.
These include hundreds of advertisements from past years. The artwork typically consists of photo images intermixed with line art, for advertisements. I submit the books to the printer as PDF files. I was able to do achieve proper results without difficulty in CS3. But CS6 is causing a variety of issues, and this one is especially troublesome because of the volume of ads involved.
I am using few victor shapes with the drop shadows and different color on the background…all cmyk colors please help. Hi Steve, Great post. Do you know how you can get around this issue when bringing artwork into Photoshop?
Everything is converted to cmyk. We print our literature on a Xerox iGen 4. Thanks for the help with the white box.
After 2 hours on a chat with Adobe their representative, he told me I would have to contact my Konica supplier for the answer; it was now fixable by InDesign. Your solution worked and it was fixable through InDesign. So much for Adobe support knowledge! Thanks so much. Thank You, it really helped me! It is not a problem, after cropping I do not need it for print. That is a very good tip particularly to those fresh to the blogosphere. Brief but very precise information… Many thanks for sharing this one.

So what are you going to do? One option is to not use spot colors when there are transparency interactions. We can see that that worked above.
But you can use spot colors if you turn on overprinting. This means that in order to print properly, overprinting must be turned on. This is the only way that the transparency flattener in InDesign and the other Adobe Creative Suite applications can properly render transparency mixed with spot colors.
In InDesign, this is found on the Output panel when you select one of the composite printing options below :. Many service providers by default have this option turned off, but to print with spot colors and transparency, it must be turned on.

White or dark lines can be caused by anti-aliasing of an application where the two regions intersect.
Therefore, InDesign flattens the file during the conversion process. Consider changing the settings in the Transparency Flattener presets. Converting the spot color to a process color allows InDesign to flatten the image without stitching. By moving the spot colored object to the top of the stacking order or moving it to a different layer, you can also prevent stitching. White lines are likely to be only a display issue in Acrobat.
They do not appear when you print a file. And it is a better and cheaper alternative to Adobe Acrobat. What makes it so good? Well, it is all about the features that are as advanced and as premium as they come. Here are some of them:. Start by opening the InDesign file you want to edit. Do this by either drag and drop, or going to "Open File…" button on the main interface. If you want to continuously add text boxes, double click the "text box" button and then click the places on the page where you want to add the boxes.
Improve this question. It should be perfectly adequate for printing a drop shadow. While many printers may ask for dpi raster images, it's not and should not be an absolute requirement.
Ask your printer for a proof first, and check the quality. If it's fine, then just tell them to go ahead and print the job. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.
