I've got a problem with Indesign cs2. I've searched the internet for an answer to this but having poor luck/bad results. I'm recreating a simple business card. I've scanned the graphic and imported it into indesign. There is knock out type on the top of the card with a burgundy-ish block which the type sits in. The type at the bottom of the card is the exact same burgundy-ish color, but when I print it, it seems to be screened. I'm positive this is not an optical illusion. I've read that there may be a transparency issue somewhere due to the graphic imported, I printed without the graphic, same problem with the screened looking text. One work-around I did find was to convert the text on the bottom to outlines. I did and the color now matches perfectly, but the text has gotten bolder and doesn't print as crisply as it should. If anybody can help me with this problem it is greatly appreciated. I've never really encountered a problem like this before. The surprises in the printing industry are infinite.
