No, I don't need it but your graphic and explanation are beautiful.

I'm having a transparency issue, 1 spot color
when I make a pdf it acts like there is an overprint issue.
nothing I tried has worked, it happens any way you output it.

Rampage?

Edit traps.

Set everything to knockout.

Then shoot the dezinger for making your life miserable on a Friday before a three-day weekend.

Just a stab but is it some % over top of 100%?
So it looks like 2 different % to the desinger, but in reality it all goes to 100% and the shape goes bye-bye
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said

Actually, the other thing I do is in the native file remove the transparency and set the transparent items to a tint of the color opposite the transparency.

 i.e. an 80% transparency = 20% tint

Thanks guys!
looks like the designer has a transparency with the overlay selected
when I try to take the transparency off and change it to opacity
doesn't work,
When I take the overlay off you can see it, turns white.
should I fix it or kick it back?

I think Tracy quietly nurtures a real KIB demon within, even though she tries to hide it..   :laugh:
