Golden rule for images of transparent background in the printing of magazines?

Hi all

I'm designing a single page to print in a magazine, and I would include a background image that will go behind black text in a two-column format. I know that things don't always look the same printed on copy paper laser, so I was wondering if there was a general rule what % set the transparency to a background image of high resolution for printing glossy magazine more. Currently, I put 15% and it looks pretty good on my laser printer paper, but I would be sure. Oh, and I use Adobe InDesign cs4.

Thank you!

10%, 15%, 20% is generally good.

I wouldn't never more than 20%.

  • save images with transparent background

    I cut an image in pscs6 and recorded on a transparent background and saved on my Finder in format giff. The image went to the ps, but opening my Finder it was slightly desaturated. I do not have the need to save transparent images that often so I'm not familiar with the technique. My client is looking for a 3 to 6 MB image for use in print. Cheers, bj

    For printing, do not use the gif files. They are an obsolete format that supports a limited number of colors (255) + 1 color used for transparency.

    PNG uses 256 colors red + 256 blue + green + 256 256 shades of gray for transparency.

    As you can see png has many more colors and shades of transparency, which means a much smoother and softer image shadow brought to get an example of transparency.

    Better yet is to save it as a tiff or psd, allowing a larger number of colors if necessary and support layers, layers alpha, transparency, the living text, paths, etc.

    If it is set on a printer, then pdf may be the best solution.

    In other words, you have many choices and the reasons not to use gif.

  • Photoshop Image with transparent background - export gives me a white background?

    Hello

    OK, the hours of my life have already evolved in this one - I guess that's computers!  I have a few images in Photoshop which already have transparent backgrounds, but when I try and drag the latter in a different program, they move across with a white box as their background.  I tried to save as TIF, GIFF... - of all kinds, so clearly I'm missing a pretty basic step that I can't see.

    Any help would be SO appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Doreen.

    Save as a PSD or PNG, depending on whether you final output will be printed or web. Then use the Place rather than drag the image on.

  • No transparency background in the artboard Mode PS 2015.5.0

    Hello

    Since the last update, I found a very strange bug. When you create a new document with transparent background, everything seems to work fine. The document is created with a transparent background. However, if I turn this document into one (or more) artboard (s) the background becomes white. There is no layer in the layers panel. If I place any object in the work plan and the export in PNG transparent, it will show the white background in the exported file.

    I work for several years now with Photoshop and I don't think it's a fault on my end, as it seems to happen only after the update. If I'm missing something please let me know.

    This makes basically useless for me at this stage PS because I work a lot with transparent graphics for the web.

    See you soon,.

    We discuss making it the default transparent when we passed the basic model plan of work. He was well regarded as reasons to make the default white background opened in 2015.5:

    (1) we wanted to preserve the visual experience of existing documents. Imagine that you did you worry about the backgrounds and then opens your document after the upgrade and all your different work plans.

    (2) all of the users who work with transparent backgrounds is small compared to those who use the default background (white).

    The change of model led us to make a choice when you upgrade to the new version of the document. We chose (1).

    Unfortunately for you, your workflow is defined in (2). Fortunately, it's easy to fix. If you have not discovered it, you can select all your artboards in your document and change them all to transparent at the same time. You don't have to go one by one.

    You make a good point that maybe we could have missed the transparent work plans if the document has a transparent background. Unfortunately, this calculation is not as easy as you might think to do things. It would have taken time away from other work, and it would have introduced a level of unpredictability when opening existing documents (Board graphics settings default to white, except if the current context is transparent, if there is an existing context, etc. etc..).

    It was a judgment call.

  • Transparent background in the eps file appears opaque when gray open in Illustrator C6

    I have an eps file has been created using GMT (mapping software) that has a transparent background. When I open it with Illustrator C6, I get an opaque gray background instead. If I ignore it and export after having been edited, there remains grey! How can I make transparent? When I have several layers with transparent background, I don't see the underlying layers.

    Order export as tiff or pdf with ps2raster works perfectly well.

    In fact, it should be transparent to make it happen. The EPS format does not support transparency, so there is none. The mapping software that generated the image apparently uses a color "mate" (gray, a bit like a 'transparent'.gif) and/or a clipping to simulate transparency path, as you have seen in those other subsequent conversions.

    If you have Photoshop, you could open it, remove the gray and save it in a format that supports true transparency.

  • HP Officejet 6500 e709n: restored computer, 6500 e709n parameters are fine, but Digital Imaging Monitor wants to reset the printer

    I recently had to restore my desktop computer.  I have reinstalled the digital imaging monitor.  The printer works well, programs on the computer can access it fine, but I can't use the digital imaging monitor, he wants to reconfigure all the settings and requires that I have reconnected the printer with a USB cable.  Is there a way to get around this?  Or I have to go hunt a USB cable and go through all that mess even once?

    Hi @jjustjjo,

    If you want to use the SUN, you will need to use a USB cable to reconfigure the printer.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day.

  • Photosmart HP 7520: ip address for web services is not on the printer properties

    Printer is a HP Photosmart 7520, I have this printer is installed on computers laptops HP two and two are running Windows 7 Pro.  On one of the laptops (mine), when I click on devices and printers, and then right-click on my default printer that is the 7520, it has three tabs.  The third tab shows 'web services' and has an IP address for what should be the EWS page.  The property intellectual property which are listed there is an old IP address that has been recently changed.  What should I do to update that.  The fact that it is bad does not seem to affect what anyone.  The printer works perfectly to include web and eprint services.  What is also interesting is on my other laptop (of woman) which is identical to mine, the web services tab is not yet here when I click on the printer properties. I passed to the EWS page and checked the network tab.  All right.  I went to the Assistant printer HP, clicked on utilities and used the IP update.

    Hey @DennyC,

    Personally, I believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If everything works as it should, that you have tested and it does, there is not need to change this list in the frame. If you want to try it though, with the exception of my first two ideas you already have tried, uninstall and install the printer is all I can think about. Right click on the printer in devices and printers, and then delete or remove. Run the HP print and doctor Scan to install the printer and check the settings.

    See you soon!
