Anyone seen an issue like this - my Epson 9800 prints a "double" image every now and then. The second "ghost" image is ever-so-slightly lighter in color and is offset from the original by about 1/32".

It goes away temporarily by doing a standard cleaning cycle, but then it happens again later. It is intermittent - can't pin it down to any particular environmental state like humidity or temperature, or to any particular time like first thing in the morning or after it sat for awhile.

I've "sort of" seen that on the 10600 when Decision 1 fucked it up. The black head was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of alignment, and it never did get fixed.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"
