Transparency in drop Shadow doesn't print with Transparency

Still not totally fixed
Well I update to build 1806, and it helped some but it did not fix it totally.
If you place a shadow with transparency on an object it will now print the transparency. How ever if you have multple shadows in the design the shadow on the lowest layer appears to be the only one that prints correctly. In this picture the top sample is the screen apperance which appears fine, but the bottom two are actual scanned print. As you can see one of the shadows is clearly much darker than the other. So I then moved the object with the darker shadow to the back and printed again. That caused the darker one to be on the other object.
Flexi has replied to me about 4 times by email, all he wanted to know was what kind of file i was printing. By the 4 email I think I finally got him to understand that I was creating the file in flexi and printing through Rip and Print, I never heard from him again and that was 2 weeks ago.
This transparency feature is great, but only if it works.

does it print correctly if you rasterize it?

Yes , but it would print correct before the update if you rasterized it. Now it's like it's halfway fixed, before both shadows would have been dark.

yeah I'm thinking that it is because the top shadow is a transparency over spot color - which is a problem in most software, in which I believe the easiest fix is to rasterize before you print

just read above about no spot colors used...so that blue is just a cmyk/rgb mix?

It's just an RGB color. This happens even if you separate the shadows From the colored blocks, and only print the shadows.
