PLEASE HELP! Opinions needed on Bob Marley autograph possible "copy" bought off ebay!!

I just bought off ebay for $400 a Bob Marley autograph which has been OK’ed by Roger Epperson and PSA’s quick opinion. I studied Marley’s auto and also felt it was real but

when i received it, it immediately just didnt look right to me. The color seemed off, no indention from the pen and it overall just didnt look right. I hope im wrong but i think the item is a very very well done copy/print autograph. Immediately when i opened it upon receiving it from the mail, my first instinct it just did not look right. I hope you guys can tell from these pics but in person it just does not look right. i have been a collector for many years and i like to think i know a decent amount about autographs in general. This is the best place to get opinions so any input would be greatly appreciated. I took the best pics i could. The photos the seller posted and these look authentic but in person it just appears off so hopefully anyone can notice anything off. If its a copy i will obviously be getting my money back but its a tough call. Also whats everyones opinion on the “presentation card” it is signed on? Please help a fellow member out! Any info would be greatly appreciated! thanks all!

Get a good strong magnifying glass or jewelers loupe, and look at the areas where the pen lines cross. A print will have the same amount of ink throughout the whole signature, but something hand signed will show the ink doubled in the areas where the pen crosses.

All the crossed lines in the R, all the a's and the L & Y, the enlarged scans do look as if the crossed areas appear darker (double the ink)

Now that I have seen a large closeup image of the signature you can see the pixalation in the writing which means its a color copy. Pens don't have that.
