      I have a paragraph of text where parts of the text are coloured black and parts of the text are coloured white and the paragraph is sat on top of a red coloured background.

      My issue is that there seems to be the faintest of a white key line between the black text and red background. If I set the paragraph to ‘multiply’ then it disappears and you get a crisp transition between the black text and red background. The only problem is that obviously my white text within the paragraph disappears due to the multiply effect.

      Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

      Many thanks in advance,
      Tom.

      Sounds like you have turned off anti aliasing in the display preferences.
      Will only show on screen it will not print. Print a text page to confirm for yourself

      Hi Graham,

      Thanks for your swift response.

      It doesn’t seem to be an issue with aliasing as aliasing is set to on. It doesn’t seem to be an issue with separations either.

      Just an optical effect with the computer display. You can get it more with complimentary colours.
      For this to really show on screen try Red text on Cyan.
      Remember that when a document is commercially printed it will be trapped to ensure that this type of issue does not occur.

      Gosh, you certainly get an effect with red on cyan but thats more optical I think. The black text looks fine on the red as soon as you set it to multiply, but thats not really a solution to the problem.

      The job in question will be presented via the screen and the outputted PDF itself looks fine. It’s just frustrating working with this problem – but I’ll get over it ; )

      Thanks for your help all the same.
