Printing and Cutting Limitations in Illustrator 9.0
If there are objects on the artboard to which Transparency or any effects such as Blur or Drop Shadows are
applied, the cutting line may be printed. When you are performing printing and cutting, you normally do not
use Transparency or effects such as Blur.
Workarounds for this problem and information about effects that are subject to limitations are described in
detail in the supplemental "Printing and Cutting Limitations and Workarounds in Illustrator 9.0" and "The
Transparency Feature of Illustrator 9.0."
