    Double printing issue

    Hi all,
    I'm having issues with my ricoh sg3110dn printer. When i print it's printing like a double image but only with black (like ghosting). I've had it a year and its just started 2 days ago now nothing prints right. Ive tried head cleaning & flushing, nozzle check and all the maintenance you can do but nothing has worked. Any help/advice? Attacheda file .
    Thank!

    Hi. Can you attach a file of the image before printing, or a section of it?

    Hiya, that is actually on sublimation paper so it's not yet been transferred or heat pressed onto an item.
    I've just done a few more test and colour inks (no black) all print perfect, clean and crisp - when i print any black, it's smudged as shown in the image.

    Yes, but that's not the image BEFORE printing.

    I was going to check your original image in Photoshop to make sure it's clean.

    Yes, it's a vector file. I've printed using 66% all inks cmyk and it prints perfect. As soon as the values start going up on just the black ink this is when the smudging happens - it doesnt make sense

    I have the same problem but it is only in the first and last quarter of the print area the center seems fine.

    Hi actually I managed to cure the problem by de selecting the "High Speed" option in the printer dialogue settings. Thanks for the input though.
