    Perhaps this?
    InDesign Secrets calls it “Yucky Discolored Box Syndrome.” Here’s their solution:
    Create a Transparency Flattener Preset that completely rasterizes everything:
    1.- Edit > Transparency Flattener Presets, click on “High” as a starting point, and then click “New.”
    In the ensuing dialog box, yank the raster/vector slider all the way to the left. Set the linework resolution to the printer’s res (say, 600), and set the gradient/mesh resolution to, oh, 150. (I think you’ll find shadow appearance satisfactory at 150. If not, go to 300.) Save as a new Flattener Preset.
    2.- File > Print, and under Output, choose Composite CMYK, and CHECK the “Simulate Overprint” checkbox. Under Advanced, select your all-raster flattener.

    • will try this at some point. Sounds weird.Atkinson
