      Hi Forum,

      I can remember reading an article somewhere about how setting a frame's transparency to 99.9% or applying a 1% feather can prevent an office printer from printing two different coloured blacks.

      A colleague is getting rich-black boxes around circles with drop shadows placed over other 100% K frames and I am sure it is to do with flattening and the office printer colour managing vector artwork and raster artwork differently.

      I told him I would try to find the article I had read but have had no success and wondered if it came from InDesign Secrets.

      Thanks

      Simon Kemp.

      Not sure exactly what you're referring to, but this page talks about a problem when printing to an “office printer”:

      But more importantly, if this is really being printed on a laser or inkjet printer (as final artwork) I would suggest setting the Transparency Blend Space to RGB, and then making sure the Output is set to RGB instead of CMYK. That might help, too.
