Original Note:
Printed features like a darker or thicker beard are a routine result of “dot gain" - a well-known printing phenomenon where halftone dots enlarge during CMYK conversion and press runs. This is a common printing artifact, not evidence of deliberate image manipulation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_gain
