Layers of pictures

[dfmteacher]

On the yearbook, we have background pictures of old maps..(they're legal) but
I can see in the printers proofs that the background image is bleading ever
so faintly through the headshots.

The printer says that the proofs were run from the same machine.
So the yearbook may look like this.
I have asked to have one sheet run off on the real paper at the publishing
print quality. I am thinking it will not happen.

However, should the bleed appear would putting a white box behind every head
shot decrease if not eliminate the bleed effect.

Thanks

This bleed shold not appear.

If the pictures are completely opaque (which is 99.99% certain), then adding
a white box behind them shouldn't do anything to fix the problem.

Is this a double-sided proof? Are you certain that this is not the
background from the other side of the page seeping through?

Define your pictire box as "white" in Quark XPress. If you're using
