Adobe Illustrator/Printing Difficulties

Question
I have Adobe CS2.  I have had a difficult time printing certain images.  I have an ad that I have created and it involves white text over a black box.  However, when I print on our printer the white does not show up.  I have tried sending the box to the back and bringing the text forward, but this does not work either.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.


Answer
Hi Jen,

Let's try a simple test.  Create a new layer and make sure the layer is first.  Then bring your text to that new layer and print.  Another thing you can try is to create a PDF and see if you get the same results.
Hope that helps.  I'm not really sure why you're having the problem you describe.

Thank you,

Tom
