PIXMA PRO-200 Double Printing Issue

Printer is Canon Pixma Pro 200 and is double printing everything - how do I fix? I've already realigned and cleaned everything in the maintenance panel multiple times. Self employed and need fixed ASAP

Greetings,

Hoping you are using OEM Canon inks?

It sounds like this could be related to a dirty or damaged Encoder Strip.

Hey Megan, I'm having the exact same issue with my Pixma Pro 200 and came across your post in trying to figure out what to do. How did you end up resolving this?

It was a damaged Encoder Strip. Purchased a new one off ebay and replaced.
