Can you reproduce the problem with the images on another PC? Perhaps it's
just a dodgy graphics card or driver.

How do you create the PDFs? I don't know much about Word->PDF, but there
used to be a problem where people would create a PDF from FrameMaker using
the printer driver for a B&W laser printer that didn't 'do' colour. The
fix was to print to a properly configured Acrobat Distiller printer
instance. I don't know if this applies in the MS Word world, though.

Can you get the client to change their logo to something that looks good
on a turquoise background, like a dolphin?
