HP Z3100 printing problem (overspray??)

[dajaka]

I'm having a problem printing an image from Illustrator. I don't think the problem is with Illustrator.

There are thick black lines forming a frame on a colored background. There is ghosting to the left of the lines looking like the black ink is still printing slightly for a while.

I scanned a section of the image (and added some information)

I'm using the latest firmware and drivers printing from a Macintosh. The print quality is set to best. I'm printing directly from Illustrator not using any RIP. I have a vanilla Z3100 no PS.

I'll call HP later today but wondered if anyone has experienced this problem.

Thanks.
