Hi, 

I created a business card for print. My business card includes an image with transparency. How can I ensure that it prints correctly? I was told there could be issues, but I am unsure how to optimize it.

Have you printed a proof yet?  Does you image blend into a colored background?  It will be really difficult to diagnose a problem if there is one without seeing the file.  Who told you there could be issues?  Is this the first time you have attempted to use transparency?

Could you perhaps be more precise about the nature of the design?

What kind of file do they expect from you?

How will it be produced?

They expect a pdf file.

Honestly, I am not 100% sure how it will be produced.
