Borders appear when printed

[De Wild]

Hey Everyone,

I've an issue I once saw at a collegue of mine.
Now I have the same problem and didn't remeber the solution.

I just made a file in InDesign. I "placed" some images with transparant backgrounds in it. (.TIF)

Usually this works fine. But now, when I print it. The borders of the image appear very vague on the printed paper.

Its very hard to notice but its there and if you look at it for a while its getting frustrating.

I can't seem to find a problem to it.

So he fills the selection border (blue in InDesign by default) what I want to be transparant.

I dont use different layers, I export to PDF and print it afterwards.

Hope you guys can help!
Tnx.

There exists another problem with TIFF files. I get often in 1-bit files a border which does not exists in the PSD or TIFF file when opened in Photoshop. I did not have time to investigate further here, but I will do it in the next days to report a bug.

My solution in that case was to reduce the frame a little bit in InDesign.

Usefull, but didn't fixed the problem unfortunatly.

Not do prints in InDesign. Print from ID only needed to check some word errors only, because always you can find strange bugs. Print/Export to PDF and than print to printer.

I did that, Firest export to PDF and then print. But thats when te error occurred.
