Ghost background on images in Indesign HELP PLEASE!!!

[bilebo2000]

I've been having this problem forever now...
I try to add any image in InDesign that has transparent background and on screen looks great but when I print it I can see lighter ghost background where the transparent background should be. THIS ONLY HAPPENS on documents with colored background. I tried to insert the image as psd file instead of jpg,or npg but it still has the ghost background when I print!!! I also set transparnency blending space on CMYK, but when I try to set transparency flattener presets to high res, they always go back to low res!
Please help as I lost hope that I can fix this!

This is discussed often here with the searchable keywords of 'stitching' and 'transparency'.

Scratch that search word of 'stitching'. I was thinking of another forum. Searching for 'transparency' in the Tek-Tips InDesign forum should yield plenty of info.

To summarise the solutions:

(1) make sure the background colour is in CMYK format, not spot

(2) select the image with the white pointer, go to Object menu>Clipping Path, and make sure that (a) if you have a path saved in the image (doesn't have to be a clipping path), this is selected in the dropdown list, or (b) if there is no path in the image, that you have have Select Edges (I think that's the term - I don't have newer version of ID on this computer) selected.

(3) DO NOT use JPG or PNG - use native PSD files.
