Question
Hi there I hope you can help, I'm kind of new to this!!
I've been getting to know In Design and having some success.  My problems comes along when I go to print.  I have a page with a green coloured background and an image on top of it.  The image has a directional feathered edge applied to its right side.  Everything looks nice and smooth on the screen, however when it is printed out there is a darker green box around where the complete image would have been before the feather.  This kind of thing also happened with areas of transparent gifs that are placed on the screen - I managed to get rid of them though using the clippng command.  Sorry if this makes no sense^^.

Answer
Larann,

Transparency can be difficult issue. Not everything you see on screen may in fact print the way you want it too. Here are a few options. Try making a PDF and then printing the pdf with overprint preview on. (acrobat professional: Advanced > print production > overprint preview). Other wise, you may have to recreate the effect that you want in Photoshop and import it as one big image into InDesign to get the file to output correctly.
