Try exporting your PDF using PDF/X-3 or PDF/X-1a. Both of these formats will flatten the transparencies included in your placed PDF content, and should fix the problem.
The problems other people are experiencing are related to print-time flattening of live transparencies. They often get flattened with miscellaneous issues.

I have tested your document in the new 2.4 version of Affinity Designer 2 running on MacOS 14.3.1 and the PDF export and the print out are working correctly for me, can you please update your Designer to the new 2.4 version
 

Hello. New to Affinity Designer after 20–odd years in Illustrator. I'd like to request a way to get into isolation mode without having to go into the layers panel. The obvious (to me) way of doing this would be option/alt-clicking an object on the artboard with the move tool (which currently does nothing) and would mimic option/alt-clicking the thumbnail in the layer panel. Same modifier-click, just on the object itself instead of the object thumbnail in the layer panel. This would speed up my workflow tremendously, and one could be in and out of isolation mode rapidly without taking your eyes and focus off your artwork.
At the very least, if this existed as a menu item: Layer > Isolate we could assign a shortcut to it through preferences.
Thanks and I hope you consider this request :)

Hello. Can we get saveable workspaces? I use a laptop + external monitor most of the time, but not always. I need a separate panel layout for each of these situations:
Laptop: unified panel layout (uncheck "separated mode") Laptop + monitor: Separated mode: Most panels arranged on laptop + context bar and artboard on external monitor. If I could save an instance of each workspace I could easily switch between depending on the situation. Hopefully this is in the works as I think this would be a feature many professionals would utilise.
Thanks
