HELP PLEASE! blurry BLACK text printing PIXMA MG7120

My Pixma MG7120 Printer is printing all black text in blurry fashion.  I have cleaned in every way and even replaced the black ink.  Not sure what I am doing wrong or how to fix.

HERE'S A WORK-AROUND:

Check your printer's paper settings. Switch setting to Photo Paper (even if you're using plain paper) , select MATTE Photo paper, save the settings. Now try printing again. In my case, my blurry print became razor-sharp with this setting on my Canon MG7520. You're using more ink, but worth it if your printing an important document or shipping label.

My Pixma MG6851 has started doing this blurry black text thing every few lines of print. I have cleaned the strip, but it still does it. Might it be the paper surface being too slippy?

Just tried different paper. Same thing.

Does it still print blurry if the print quality is set to 'high'?

That certainly improves it Mike for text in a letter, but PGBK check pattern still blurry
