Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I'm trying to print an image and it displays fine in the QTR preview display - but all I get is a rectangle of pure black.

The image is flattened. I tried another image and it was fine.

What can be the matter? I need to get this image printed and it's got me totally flummoxed.

thanks,
Richard

Richard,
Even though the image is flattened, check the channels in PS to see if there
is any add'l channels or selection masks there. They must be removed to
print correctly with many RIPS. Not sure that's your problem, but it's worth
a look.

I later found that the problem was that the image had been saved with LZW compression - saving without compression fixed the problem.
