Hello all,
I've been faced with a gosted printout on all colours with our HP Z6200 and have no clue what else to do. These are the things we've already done without any success:
- changing PH's
- PH alignment
- scan axis calibration
- encoder strip cleaned,
- encoder sensor cleaned
- line sensor cleaned
Are there any other ideas???

Are there fusers on ink jet printers? I thought that was only on laserjet printers.
To the OP: Have you tried any internal prints to see if the ghosting shows up there also? That would eliminate the file/computer/software as a potential problem.

Would it be possible to attach a photo of a print showing the problem? Just to be sure we're thinking of the same thing when you say shadows/ghosting.
Thanks...

Also, the service manual (https://shared.swissparts.ch/Manuals/HP/Plotter/HP%20Designjet%20Z6200.pdf) speaks to the ghosting problem on page 182 and says it should be remedied by a firmware update. Might want to check out the manual and see if it's the same problem. I think the latest firmware should be available on the HP website.
