Hi,

 

When I use print as image on a 2-sided document to get rid of boxes around logos the second side prints washed out.  The first side prints just fine.  How can this be fixed?

If you don't print as image, the second page does not get washed out? Indeed, print as image, except for the time it takes to print and the less sharp characters, should produce the same result as a standard print.


I also do not understand, why print as image should take away boxes around a logo. This looks like a badly created PDF file.

 

Would it be possible to share the PDF file? (Do not share, when there is private information in the PDF)

When not using print as image, but rather using printer color management the second side doesn't get washed out.  Yes print as image does take a lot longer to print, but it fixes problems with images like showing the bounding box of an image in a different shade of the background color.  When you see the file on the screen the logos blend in with the background seamlesly, but when it's printed using printer color management that's when you see bounding boxes around the logos in either black or a different shade of the background color.  It probably is a badly created pdf file, but we can't control how the files are created as they are created by many different people of all skill levels and the turnover rate of those people are high.  Please see the file that I've attached.  Print as image basically prints the document exactly as it looks on the screen.  It works great most of the time when printing single sided jobs.  Sometimes the colors aren't right, but most of the time it works.

The logos that are giving me problems are the two in the upper left hand corner of both sides.  The CRC and the dream center logo.  

 

These are my first posts here, so I'm still trying to figure things out.  Sorry if I click on something I shouldn't.
