I have a similar problem. I am using InDesign CC 2017. I have made a banner that contains several customer provided logos. Lines appear above or below the logos exactly where the placeholder are. I am printing on scrim using a HP5500 wide format printer. These lines are not visible in InDesign in any viewing mode. None of the placeholders have a stroke.
Weeneydog, what is the color mode of your banner document? Is it RGB or CMYK? (Look under Edit > Transparency Blend Space). Also, what are the color models of the placed logo art files? You should be entirely RGB on all these choices (unless it is a PostScript printer driver). Also, are you printing from InDesign directly or are you exporting a PDF and printing from the PDF? If the latter, how are you making the PDF?
The color space is cmyk. The logos are jpeg (rgb). There is nothing on the master pages. The printer supports cmyk and rgb. Do I need to change my color space to rgb so there is not conflict with the logos?
While no always critical, I generally recommend making all color spaces agree. That way, if you are doing anything blend-mode or transparency, the outcome should work well. How are you making the PDF that you are printing from?
I see that Sandra Pernille, who asked the original question has dropped off this thread and it has moved in a direction away from helping her. I'm going to branch your question to a new thread, weeneydog​, so that you can both get the answers that you need.
