Suggestions on blending layers with effects?

[Tyson of the Northwest 1]

I have a text layer with an outer shadow layer effect on it and is set for multiply.  When I look at the pdf it looks fine. But when I print it the layer has a faint background lightening. It seems to only be for layers with effects on them.  Thoughts?

Could we see a screen shot of your Layers Studio please. Would really help to figure this out.

Did you tried exporting a PDF for print with no transparency using the setting X-1a:2003 before printing?

The X-1a:2003 preset when exporting seems to have resolved.  Thanks!

Has any other solution to this been found? I'm having the same issue, although the lightening is quite dramatic as it is happening on a dark grey background, and the x-1a:2003 preset has not fixed it.
