How Can I Avoid Transparency Issues?
UpdatedJuly 6, 2024
BySpencer
Any transparency issue can be resolved before saving your file.
Example:
What a transparency problem looks like on screen…After a transparency problem is printed…
To prevent this, never use shadows, glows, or any other transparency (image or otherwise) on top of a spot color. Always convert your spot color to CMYK and FLATTEN before sending.
