Alignment Problems

My alignment is off... tried cleaning 5 times, alignment tests ad nauseam and checked for stuck paper any where I could see.  New Brother Ink cartridges, but still prints with a slightly off, fuzzy ghost image (?),  printed all qualities and the same.  Only a 2 year old machine and not used very much.  Thx in advance.
