xwatermark prints stamp instead of watermark
When using the xwatermark package, I'm getting a watermark that is best described as a stamp, it has no transparency and is situated over everything else instead of being discretely at the back.
I'm using a variation of the mitthesis.cls, that is suited to the university I'm studying at.
I added usepackage[printwatermark]{xwatermark} in my main.tex after documentclass[12pt,fleqn]{mitthesis} and amongst the other packages I'm importing.
I've placed newwatermark[allpages,color=blue!2,angle=45,scale=3,xpos=0,ypos=0]{DRAFT} both before and after the begin{document} tag, but get the same result.
I'm not using the background package, so the discussion here hasn't helped, even though I tried the alternative way of calling up newwatermark.
Has anyone experienced this problem and corrected it?

Which engine do you use for the compilation?

Texstudio is only the editor. Make a small complete example the shows the problem, if possible it should use the article class and not your class and show it along with the log-file.

Thanks @UlrikeFischer, I will need to do some juggling here. I was hoping someone who has used the MIT Thesis template would come across this question. There is some sort of conflict between it and thexwatermarkpackage.

My problem was related to the fact that xwatermark, uses, but does not load, the xcolor package. I needed usepackage{xcolor} to get it working.
It may be possible to use xwatermark without this package, say if the watermark is a graphic, but I'm not in a position, strictly speaking due to lack of experience, to comment.
With the xcolor package (not loaded automatically by the xwatermark
package), all colors (in- cluding white, shades like -red!75!green!50,
and those defined within the user document) can be passed to this
package. And, as mentioned above, both texts and pictures can be
submitted and printed as watermarks on the same page, and on different
positions.
I'm going to mark this as the accepted answer for now, but will select another one if/when I see an answer that gives a better explanation.
