G4200, Grey prints squiggly & faint

kievit — Mon, 25 Jan 2021 18:38:28 GMT

My BLACK ink is half full. When I print and the font is grey the print is faded and squiggly (DMV form). Again the ink is half full.. do I need to fill the ink, doesn't seem like I would need to. I have cleaned the heads, checked alignment, deep cleaned.. out of ideas.

Hi kievit,

Based on your description of the issue, it would appear that the encoder/timing strip would need cleaning:
