Re: Transparencies
What colour profile is your artboard set up to RGB/CMYK as it looks like CMYK. Also what ver. are you using as the newer ones have the up to date EPS filter. When you use the Flattner Preview does this correspond to the final output? Have so many questions that I could ask would need to see file. I also don't know if you had any luck with Mike and if you haven't you could PM me and I could send you my email or upload it to Dropbox if file size causes a problem with ISP.
