Multifunction wireless inkjet printer (scan/copy/fax), released 2013 from Canon. Identified by the "MX922" on the front of the machine, above and to the right of the "Canon" logo.

Ghosting only on blacks, colors are okay

My Canon Pixma MX922 has a print ghosting problem only on the two black inks. Colors look good. Canon recommends cleaning the encoder/timing strip with IPA. I have done this multiple times with no performance change. Any ideas what the cause could be? Would a bad print head do this? Do I need to disassemble the printer to access and clean the encoder/timing read sensor?

Hi @damon10 ,

Just curious if it does this when printing or scanning using the printer control panel or from a computer or both?

@damon10 yes, a partially clogged print head could be the issue. Check on here how to clean it

I did throughly clean the print head. It did not fix the issue. I can try that again. It just wastes ink that has flowed from the ink cartridges into the reservoir of the print head. A few other people posted this same issue on Canon’s support sight. Canon’s response was clean the timing strip, which didn’t fit it for us.
