Laserjet Cm1312 Nfi Mfp Printing Color Has A 'shadow'

I have calibrated the color printing several times. I have also gone to my printing options and selected "calibration occurs in printer" as suggested by other troubleshooting issues. I am trying to fix the color printing. The black in nice and crisp. The color has a "shadow" of another color, like the two colors aren't lining up. Example - my blue has a bit of a shadow of a lighter blue, my brown has a bit of a shadow of yellow. The shadow is always below and to the left. Kind of like you are trying to make a 3D letter, of course it just makes it look fuzzy. I can't find anybody else with this issue and I don't know what to call it. I have tried all variation of searches with no luck.
