I have smudges in the top left corner and a few places on the left side of the page, usually only after printing several copies.  I have cleaned the print heads, aligned the print heads and put in a new black cartidge.  It only happens with the black color.  

 

Thank you for any advice!

This issue could occur if the printhead is not aligned properly or defective.

 

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.
