i can't print transparent PNG-24 images with from a webpage.
a black logo with a transparent background is turned in a black square on my laserprint.
why?

not entirely sure- photoshop doesn't "read back" png's alpha, dreamweaver can't display them - try screengrabbing- i mean its only going to be at 72 dpi anyway no?

yes, 7dpi, and i see also black squares in DW indeed.
it is just PS7 > safe for web > PNG-24
you're the pro now hooked, so...

Try removing the alpha channel in photoshop. good luck!

anyhow, i switch back to .gif, because IE on this pc here doens't support the PNG transparency.
so 30% of all pc users will have the same problems ...

that looks a bit too complicated for the moment, but thanks for the link!

the actual good thing about this bit of javascript is that it does all the work for you!
You just add it to you page then is resolves the alpha chanell for you...

okay, thanks.
but i have to play safe with this project, so no more javascript.
but png's are great

The javascript actually only adds a CSS stlye to an PNG image if its in IE etc... but you could add the CSS manually to a PNG image and this would make it work in 95% of all browsers...
