Sublimation printer having slight focus problems

Yesterday a problem of chromatic aberration was noticed on the sublimation printer, where the edges of an image blurred, and so the magenta ink is slightly offset from the cyan, etc. This problem followed just a few days behind replacement of two of the ink cartridges.

I did a fair amount of work with Sawgrass support today, and through a bunch of their built in maintenance tools, the problem has reduced. But I wanted to give fair warning for anyone who wants to use it in the next few days.

For an example of how it is currently behaving, I’ve printed another rose image and hung it on the wall just as you walk into textiles. The rightmost sample is the one I made today, and the center was done just after we got the printer originally.

It will be Monday before I can fully close this issue. If anyone uses it in the next few days and wants to share their observations I would appreciate additional information.
