In my situation, I am only printing fifty or so fields with a line or two of
text. There are no graphics of any kind on the card that is being printed.
The computers that print this out are in millions of colors mode as well.
Putting a white graphic behind the fields sounds like a hack that might work
well. Only time will tell as the problem is not consistent either.
