     For some reason if I use white as my drop shadow color it won't print. Anyone else have this problem?

    White? Have you ever seen a white shadow? And I'm not talking TV shows here. White isn't an ink color it's the absents of all color, so unless it's sitting on another color you won't see it. Try putting that white shadow on top of a larger black box, and see it if shows up.

     White shows up just fine on my headline because I have a photo behind it. It just doesn't drop out the photo when it prints. All other colors work just fine, even the lightest of lite yellows.

     I had an idea after reading your reply, I checked out trapping under preferences and unchecked where it said to ignore white but that didn't do it either.

    Make the shadow 1% yellow and see how that works.

    Hi, njhemily,

    do you have "Multiply Shadow" checked? That's basically like over printing.

    Uncheck and it should print (on top of non-white areas).

     Thank you so much, that did the trick. I'd unclicked the other thing listed but not that one.
