Dear Dave,  

My settings are identical to yours.

document, doing a convert to profile to your printer's profile then checking
that the numbers are still all 255.>>

I tried your suggestion - interestingly when converted to profile I checked 
the numbers and they read 254. (The white read 255 before conversion) There 
is obviously some density that is being recorded in printing. 

My original file was transparent, the theory being that if there is nothing 
there, nothing should print! Out of interest, I converted this to  profile 
and then selected "same as source" in the print dialogue box. When I printed, 
hey presto, a clean background! Is this a correct way of working? Do I see 
the colour management experts on the list holding their heads in their hands!?

Comments!
