Dear community,

 

I have a quality issue with all documents/pictures I print. It has gotten worse over time. Print quality in general is okay but there is a "halo" or double print effect on all of them. Hard for me to describe but quite easy to see on the pictures I attached on the top and especially the bottom of the page.

 

I am using original cartridges and they are full. I have cleaned the printer several times and did not spot anything unusual. Any ideas? Thank you!
