InDesign printing issue
Hi everyone,
I'm new here. I just had some business cards printed from a pdf devloped in InDesign. Everything looked okay except for an area that should be solid black in the logo, the color is in 2 tones; black and grey. I thought it was a printing issue at first, but when I called the printer they said it was in my file, visible in the pdf (I didn't see it.) So, they suggested I flatten the file and try again. Doesn't the file get flattened while exporting the pdf? I thought I did that correctly. Also the image in question is an eps file, does that make a difference in the weird color in the print? It should just be solid black. There is a transparent tiff behind the black logo, and it looks like the logo turns from grey to black right at the starting point of the transparent background tiff. I can post an image if this helps. Any advice?
