    is the image on the paper? Or on the roller? if on the paper then its a cleaning problem. If coming from the roller then its a toner or fuser problem. Try a different image unit is it still there?

        What is the temperature in the fuser?
        See the SP 1106-1.
        You also can change the temperature on the SP 1105-1 and 1105-5.

          If the humity is high, bumping the fuser temp 5 degrees will some time fix it. Don't go higher than that or you will be resetting fuser codes.

            Have you tried a different hot roller?

                check if there is a pressure release mechanism not working if the fuser was rebuilt

                  Check the bushings for the pressure roller, as well as the pressure roller itself. In my experience, the press rollers in these don't always show visible issues, but a new one should do the trick.

                        Is the hot roller OEM? we have had problems with aftermarket rollers on this model.

                          Pressure roller bushings... Make sure the frame of the fuser is not broken as well.

                            If you have only replaced the Hot roller I would also fit a pressure roller. This I think will 99% fix your ghosting.
