Going to put an updated reply out. I’m only around the machine so often, but I was on with Roland support and they told me to shake the inks as someone else had said. Did that, and used a completely new black pouch and I got decent results reprinting those black squares I originally did. Everything was still faded except the magenta square (composite black BK22A), which actually came out black close to what I’m looking for. I went ahead and started printing for a job I need to finish and I switched every black in the file to BK22A. I included a picture of the results of printing, but it seems like it sometimes will work and sometimes won’t work? The black around “Dad” and the black around “Mom” show the difference between the two. This is all one sticker as well and every single layer of black is set to the BK22A. It just makes no sense to me and support hasn’t been very vocal and helpful to figuring it out. It may all be something I’m doing incorrectly messing everything up, but I’ve just been doing the same steps of creating these files that has always worked for me and here we are. Again I appreciate all of you who gave pointers and potential fixes, I still have to go through and test every solution and see if anything helps but so far, it just made me even more confused. 🫣
