    Can somebody try this (if you have the time!) and see if you get the same result as the jpg posted above...

    Illustrator CS2 (Mac, OSX 10.3.9)

    1) Click 'File > New' (A4, CMYK)
    2) Place a box on the page (anywhere, any size) and fill with CMYK 66-0-90-0 (it's just the green I'm using with this file, I presume any colour will give the same result.)
    3) Using the standard Myriad Roman font (or any font really), place some (white) type in the centre of the box, anything at all, just a few characters will probably do.
    4) Click on 'Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings' and choose 300ppi.
    5) Select the type and then select 'Filter > Stylize > Drop Shadow'. I used: Multiply, 100% Black, 75% Opacity, X=0.75mm, Y=0.75mm, Blur=0.75mm.
    6) Click 'File > Save As'. Choose EPS as the format and then in the dialog box select 'High' as the Transparency setting. (This is where I have an issue as it still says the document contains artwork that needs flattening!?)

    Now, print this .eps file. I selected 'Simulate' for the Overprint setting and 'High' for Transaprency.

    I got the same result as the jpg posted above. Am I missing something? Why am I getting the different greens when printed?
