<p><em>"Then I copy the image on top of this new blank image(in Photoshop as a new layer)".</em><br>
Just out of curiosity. What is the difference of having a layer over the background or printing a flattened copy. I am asking, because I know that some software has to be “tricked” to do what you want it to do.<br>
Thanks,<br>
