Images in crystal report with white background don't show as white

Question

I'm putting an image in a crystal report (using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005). The image is a product logo with a white background, and the report has a white background too. But when I run the report you can see it's not quite white. The off-white color is barely visible, but it is visible and more so when printed.

I've tried a variety of image formats, and tried transparent images too but they don't seem to work (transparent pixels show as black). When I use a different image I notice that the faint non-white color changes - as if it's a function of the colors in the image.

Anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It sounds as though the white in the image is actually off-white - have you tried printing the image from another app, such as a browser?
