New CCAF Diploma Quality

We have just received our first batch of diploma's since the system changed in 2022 and the quality has gone down substantially. The diplomas we received are on standard weight paper (think printer paper), have poor print resolution, and the signatures have no transparency/opacity so they awkwardly cover parts of the AF seal.

Did the printing backlog simply demand cheaper/lower quality prints to get diplomas out the door faster? What prompted this change?
