Wonder if anyone can help Smile

I'm doing an advert for a magazine and after preparing some of the photos in photoshop first, I saved as png's so that I could get the transparency. But when I place them into Illustrator on top of another background you can still see the part of the image which had been removed in p/s, just fainter.

When you look at everything on screen it all looks perfect, with everything that should be transparent, being transparent. When I print from p/s it prints perfect too, but it isn't until you print from illustrator that it does this.

Anyone know why?

Oh I've also tryed printing from numurous printers and computers incase anything wierd was going on and still now't.

fest.

I don't have Illustrator CS (still using version 10), but when I want part of a bitmapped image to be transparent, I usually create a clipping mask over the image.

I know that native Photoshop PSD's maintain transparency in Illustrator - just make sure you don't have a background layer, works great.
