Ghost lines in nozzle test print

In the interest of better understanding my machine (VG-540) does anyone know what causes this type of deflection? No lines are missing just some of them have extra lighter lines next to them. It's only happening in the cyan nozzles. The black nozzles, which are on the same heads, do not do it. I'm imagining this is just due to the different colors having different chemical makeups. Anyways, any insight would be appreciated.

Partially clogged nozzles and/or damaged nozzles form head strikes. Anything that deforms the nozzle will cause the ink to fire incorrectly. Check your wiper too. If it's not making perfect contact with the head surface, the nozzles might be having to fire through residual ink which causes similar issues.
 
You will need a cyan head. This unfortunately is a problem with TR2 cyan ink.
I strongly believe there is a issue with the formulation of the cyan TR2 ink.
The service level micro dot test will be all sqgiggly as attached.
