Printing and Cutting Limitations in Illustrator 9.0
If Transparency or any effects such as Blur or Drop Shadows are applied to any object in the artboard, the
cutting line may be printed. When performing printing and cutting, you should not use Transparency or effects
such as Blur at all.
Workarounds for this problem and information about special 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".
