[Histonet] Artifact

Can anyone help me out with the artifact I am getting on my slides? It is on all of them, IHC, H, specials. It looks like formalin pigment, but I use 10%NBF so should I really be getting formalin pigment this much on my slides? I am a GI lab. I use microwave processing. Specimens are held
