Hello everyone!

Got a weird one for you. On this old Konica Minolta bizhub C280, I'm having a strange problem where colors darken/deepen around the edges of areas of solid color. This is especially noticeable on red and magenta colors, though it appears slightly in blue as well.

It's very apparent in person, though on scans it doesn't show up particularly well. I've adjusted the contrast levels here to make it clearer:





Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm at a bit of a loss.

Capturing this effect on camera is super annoying! For what it's worth, the problem gets much worse when printing on thick paper. Not sure if that's relevant?

It's definitely not under a maintenance contract anymore. This was saved from a company that went under and had an adventurous life since then (including being strapped -- badly -- in the back of a pickup truck and driven through the snow under a tarp).
