I have used a SW for a while now and not noticed this particular problem.
However, the print quality is VERY sensitive to the kind of paper you
use.  I get satisfactory results with a good quality copier bond, but
even then it makes a difference which side of the paper I use.  The 
best paper seems to be 25% rag bond no heavier than 20 lb, and
calendared pretty smooth.

The other possibility, as you mention, is that your printer may have
a defect.
