Empty boxes printing with 1% colors

When I print or PDF a page with empty boxes on it set to None color, they print with a 1% cyan and 1% Magenta background. Please see attached PDF.

Hi @Tomasso and welcome to the forums. Could you please upload a copy of the afpub file so one of us could take a look at it?

Cheers,

@Tomasso, I'm assuming you are referring to the 'empty boxes' on the first page of you pdf... If so, these are not empty, they have and RGB fill of RGB 246, 249, 253 which translates to CMYK 2, 1, 0 0. Your document is also RGB, I'm assuming that is intentional though.

If you compare the six 'empty boxes' on your Page 1 Artboard with the two on your Page 2 Artboard you'll see the two on Page two use an RGB Fill of RGB 255, 255, 255.

You would be better off selecting all the empty boxes in your artwork and setting their fill to none.

It would still be handy as @MikeTO suggests if you could upload your Publisher Document as well.
