SP-540 Printing blurred/overspray

Can anyone please tell me what you think would be causing my printer to have such overspray on the black? All other colors print fine. Thank you in advance.

how's the nozzle check?

I haven't seen ours do that... Maybe check your head height and make sure it's low. What scale is that picture?

I have seen high levels of static cause something similar to this.

Printhead needs replacement. Have it checked, but when mine did the identical thing, it was the printhead that bought the farm.

First do a very good cleaning using swabs and a lot of solution. Then do a Medium Cleaning and look closely at your test print. If you still see overspray you have a damaged head ($995). The black part of Head 1 is always the first to be damaged as it's the first to hit an object.

If it were a screen printed job then that would be ink crawl due to static.
