There are NO images on the cards I'm printing, only text fields and
graphic shapes (a couple of boxes and some horizontal and vertical
lines). Also, when I get the grey background it is across the whole
print area, like a backdrop, not just where particular objects are
located. So the transparency theory doesn't hold in this case.
