Printing Drop Shadow corrupting
I have a effect ds on a project I'm working on but when I print it it corrupts the 75% black background colour. It darkens it to almost 95% and leaves the original 75% around bounding boxes on other objects that have the drop shadow. When I take this off it gets worse and I'm thinking it's an issue with some blending modes I've used. I have object shadows that I have set with the multiply blending mode in the transparencies palette. Here is what I mean:

Aaah. Transparency. And possibly spot colors.
Gotta love it.
For important information on how to design, create pdfs, and print from Adobe products using transparency please read the technical bulletins at the bottom left of this page.

That was incredibly helpful PrintDriver! (:
I am running on CS2 still because my boss has a fear of upgradeing/updating but I'm slowly swaying her to get at least CS3 (; but those teqniques that I found there teaches me a lot she doesn't have time to, ahh yes the elusive "time", love hate relationship with that one (:

Why CS3 when CS4 is out?

Wait a moment and CS5 will be out too.
But you'll need an Intel comp to run it.

Well I suspect you can upgrade by skipping from CS2 to CS4. But I doubt you'll be able to go from CS2 to CS5.
So the upgrade price might get you all the way to CS4. Then when CS5 comes out you will be able to upgrade to that from CS4.
