Trapping problem

[BigSi]

Hi there. I have a very fussy customer. I'm printing text and a logo over a solid. I get a very fine white line around the text and the logo is fine. If I play around with settings in my command workstation
(black overprint, auto trapping etc..) I can swap it so the text is fine but there there is the issue with the white line around the logo. I can't work it out (the logo is a vector). Just trying to get both colours to trap properly.
The text is black over a spot orange, the logo is the same spot orange but over a black solid. Just looking for a quick work around, either in pitstop, acrobat or the C/station. Hopefully nothing to labour intensive as I have about x40 of these cards to do.
(the black is a process black, should I change it to a spot black? rather not)
Your advice is much appreciated. thanks Simon

Have you tried ticking the box at the top "Adobe PDF Print Engine Preferred", this has solved strange issues before.

Or open the original pdf and under advance tick, "Print as Image". This might be a workaround.

Fab Pip, I'll give this a go. ta Simon

Any chance of posting a sample PDF?

I'll give pip suggestions a go first. I would have to be carefully actually posting a screenshot (commercially sensitive, corporate logo blarblarblar)
