Ink problems at The Sacramento Bee

The Bee has ink problems. Some of the black ink on the newsprint looks gray, and the colors look blurred. For comparison I looked at the SF Chronicle today - the print was crisp and I didn't see any smeared colors. Check out the Bizarro cartoon printed Wednesday July 30. In the picture below is the Bizarro cartoon printed in the San Francisco Chronicle (left) alongside the identical cartoon printed in the Bee (right). You can see the Bee's version is blurrier. The difference is very pronounced when you click on the picture to enlarge it.
