    The image lightening is a display issue, but doesn't affect the final output, however I have sometimes seen the white box issue with the edge of a transparent box. More prevalent in laser outputs than the final, though it would be something to flag with your printer on a proof.

    As for transparencies in a logo... If you have a logo sitting on a white background, ideally you would have an eps with no background or a psd with no background so you just see the white and gray checkerboard pattern and don't set it to transparent in indesign.

    If its like a watermark, flag it with your printer and ask for a test or for them to confirm that its happening on their end too... or just overlay the logo in photoshop and bring it in as a flattened image. This wouldn't really be a runner if you had a lot of them to do, unless you did a batch process.

    • Yep, good communication with your printer is vital. I never trust them to do a decent job.Chimp
