Getting very bad double imaging(ghosting) in black only. All other colors are fine. I have the luxury of having 2 machines in the same office. I stopped a copy halfway into the fuser. Double image in the fuser. The half that had not yet reached the fuser was perfect. Switched the fuser, no good. Switched the drum, no good. When I switched the black dv that fixed it. Put in a new dv, vacuumed out black toner, installed new OEM black(previous toner was OEM) and machine was fine for about 600 copies. When I stopped back to check on it, it was back to double imaging. Copies or prints doesn't matter. Fuser temp is normal. toner will build up on fuser rollers and copies will get worse until I run a bunch of blanks to clean it. Any suggestions? I hope I covered everything that I did.

Re: IRA C5030 Double Imaging
It's the developing cylinder itself.
Try this:-
[Occurrence area]
Developing cylinder
[Cause]
In case that the image pattern, which has extreme shading differences, is copied under the
high temperature and high humidity environment, the deterioration toner of a previous image
may adhere on a developing cylinder. For this reason, the inversion residual image (negative
ghost) of the previous image may occur in the next image.
[Occurrence condition]
In case that the image pattern with extreme shading differences is copied (the halftone image
was copied immediately after the solid image)
[Remedy]
1) Targeted value setting of ATR control (COPIER>ADJUST>DENS>P-TG-Y/M/C/K) <Level2>
The applicable service mode setting value for the color, which the poor image has occurred,
is set to "-1."
2) After cycling the power of the main unit, copy 8 A3 solid images.
As a result, if the image on the 8th sheet is checked and a defect is not improved, please
move on to the following step.
3) Lower the setting value of the applicable service mode by 1 step.
4) After cycling the power of the main unit, copy 8 A3 solid images.
5) Check the image on the 8th sheet.
6) If a poor image is not improved, repeat Step 3)-5).
Failing this Change the Dev Housing for a new one.

Re: IRA C5030 Double Imaging
Thanks for the reply. If that's the case then I would expect the ghosting to be on the page before it enters the fuser but it's not. I'm thinking I have a toner problem and maybe I didn't get all the previous toner out of the hopper. Was hoping somebody else may have had this problem before. I'd hate to replace the black dv again and have it happen again.
