InDesign and Transparency, it's destroying my typeface!

I’m quite positive that this question must come up frequently, but I’ve searched the depths of the internet to find a solution to my problem.

Whenever a file is imported that needs to have its background knocked out (through either a PSD with no background, or a clipping mask in various other formats) the type on the page its on becomes sickly and thin in appearance.

I have tried most everything to fix it, from my previous research such as placing the type on a higher layer, putting it on the same layer but changing the stacking order. And a few other things. These have no effect on my typeface oddity. It seems that my problem cant be solved with the usual fixes.

I would very much appreciate any input or solutions that anyone here has.

Humbly Yours,

Jeremy Lee
