      I have two files, one which is working just fine and one where there seems to be a color problem. On some of the pages there is a 10% background blue. When not in overprint preview, all the colors seem to be correct. When I go to overprint preview and also when I print to pdf, the background blue washes out all the other colors including all tifs. And even on pages where there is no background color, but a colored tif, the tif changes color. I can't seem to find any settings that differ between the two files but obviously there is. Can anyone help. Thanks

      Is there transparency on the page? What's the transparency blend space set to?

      There doesn't seem to be a transparency on the page. When I check the transparency setting its normal with an opacity of 100%. This problem seems to affect all the pages of the file. It was created by someone else who is no longer available. There are a number of files in this series and some sort of transparency was created — how, I don't know. What happens is that each file is suppose to print in a different color – green, magenta, and blue. But when working in the file, the color used is the blue and some sort of transparency was created to change the color of the type and tifs to the magenta and green when printing and in printing overview. The problem is with the file that was created that I want to have remain blue. There seems to be some sort of transparency that overprints with another layer of blue. Not sure if I'm making sense but I hope so.

      Is there actual overprinting on the document? Is there an object (perhaps on a locked layer) that is causing overprinting? (Overprinting is handled in the Attributes panel.)

      There appears to be only one layer and none of the items in the attributes menu are checked. I'm not sure if overprinting is the correct word. When the pages are printed (or when I go to overprint preview), the color value of the objects on the pages is overridden by another color value.
