Transparency issues w/ Xerox 700 + Bustled RIP *solved*

[leegreen]

I was in the middle of writing a long post complaining about my transparency woes with the mentioned hardware.

Had the 'screen mode' set to Enhanced Text & Graphics was causing white boxes around my transparent objects sent from InDesign CS4 or Acrobat (PDF v1.3 -> 1.7), transparency flattened objects included.

Setting the screen mode to '200 Cluster Dot' resolved my issue.

Thought I would share, in the case this helps anyone else.

Cheers

the "Composite Overprint" option can also help with transparencies

We have the same problem with transparencies with our CREO RIP on the 700. I cannot figure out how to adjust the "Screen Mode." Is this a setting on your Xerox RIP?

It is a setting on an EFI RIP, not sure about a CREO.

In the CX700, the SCREENING option is under the QUALITY tab.

You may want to try the OVERPRINT options also to fix a transparency issue.

Even better, flatten your file before sending it to the RIP.
