PIXMA TS5320 prints extremely wavy lines

[zealous_lawman]

My printer randomly (i.e. I don't recall making any changes that would have caused this) started printing extremely low-quality images. I've provided a sample from a recent print. There's missing lines in some prints, uneven ink volume, and the output is severely unaligned. I have gone through nozzle cleaning, deep cleaning, printer alignment (auto and manual) with zero effect on the output. Does anyone have suggestions for what to try next?

Hi zealous_lawman,

Cleaning the timing strip (encoder) inside of your PIXMA TS5320 should resolve the blurry printing you are experiencing.

Please follow the steps in this Knowledgebase Article to clean the timing strip (encoder):
