https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Pixma-MG3620-Prints-Double/m-p/450080#M68091 <P>My printer prints double. This is especially noticeable when printing fine details like large circuit diagrams. I've done all the alignments and cleanings with no joy. When I print the nozzle test pattern and then photocopy it, it's okay when I press the Black button, but I get double text when I press the Color button. I also see one horizontal line missing in the grid pattern, but I'm not so worried about that. Below is what I'm talking about with blowups of the areas in question. How can I fix this?</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="TEST 1.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47615i56C97E1AFC8244EC/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="TEST 1.jpg" alt="TEST 1.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="TEST 2.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47616i3166A1C73BB79037/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="TEST 2.jpg" alt="TEST 2.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-center" image-alt="TEST 3.jpg" style="width: 999px;"><img src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/47617iC9AF529C53D26681/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="TEST 3.jpg" alt="TEST 3.jpg" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sun, 10 Dec 2023 00:43:16 GMT Oldyellr 2023-12-10T00:43:16Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Desktop-Inkjet-Printers/Pixma-MG3620-Prints-Double/m-p/450080#M68091 <P>My printer prints double.
