The issue is pretty simple. The process goes like this:


 * Ishida does the issue as digital artwork, and sends it to the publisher.
 * The publisher prints it on extremely cheap, low-quality paper. (Like newspaper, but worse.)
 * Providers scan in the pages, which can impact the quality of the scans depending on the machine and its settings.
 * The Scanlation team tries to clean stuff up as best they can.
 * Later on, the publisher puts out the High-quality Digital copy on the website.

So the Mangastream scans are a scan of very poorly-printed images.
