A couple of things jump to mind.
Is the black set to overprint or is it trying to knockout beneath the k stroke?
If it's a PDF: which kind? If it is a PDF/x1a it will have pre-flatened the artwork - it it's a PDFX4 it will be preserving transparency layering and perhaps the RIP is not honoring transparency correctly (as was the case in early RIPs)?

Subject: Wondering if anybody has ideas what might cause a print issue?
As of recently we are having an odd printing issue where the stroke we add for a bleed around our print files is showing up behind the art darker than the art should be. We are seeing this only in black and only on our Roland printers. I wonder if this is an issue with the print files or if it is being misread in the rip? Has anybody seen this happen before?
Thanks,
Nick
