I've done several head alignment chacks/adjustments on my printer – both auto and "manual".
The colour heads (including the "GY' and "BK" heads for colour printing) align perfectly, but the large-capacity "PGBK" head used for text still prints wavy vertical lines and produces blurred or doubled images for about 3 out of every 4 lines of text.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Based on your description of the issue, it would appear as though the encoder/timing strip in your printer is dirty or smudged and would need to be cleaned. To clean the encoder/timing strip, please follow the steps outlined in the following Knowledgebase Article available from Canon's web site:
