Two different layers, elements with same swatch, unexpected output when printed

Question

Hi all,I can't understand why I have this issue.My documents has (among others) three layers:Circles - A collection of small circlesLine bars - Coloured line barsBackground - A big shape The circles on top should artificially "mask" some part of the lines below, in order to have a "rounded" cut effect. Fill color is the same swatch color for circles and background, no effect, 100% transparency. The output shows the circles are printed as "darker" than the background.Any hint? Here below you can find some screenshots. The bad one is a pic of the output.

Use keep values.It seems it was an issue about the images (the .png QR codes who were in RGB) in the page. For some reason, even with the setting you told me, it did not work.As I converted the images to TIFF CMYK it worked out fine.So probably a setting in the color conversion was not working properly (but I can't say which one).  Thank you!

What file type has the background, what file type the circles and other objects?Do all of them have the same color profile?Whar settings does the color policy have?What output intent do you have?
