Two reasons for ghost image
1. Toner cartridge faulty.
There is a part in toner cartridge called Drum cleaner (also called as tractor blade), if this part not clean the drum surface properly ghost image will form on drum & it will transfers on paper..
2. Fuser assm faulty.
There is a part in fuser assembly called Teflon sleeve. If toner particles deposited on teflon sleeve you may get ghost image..

It comes with very detailed instructions on how to remove the old cartridge and install the new one. Very easy, but there's no way around the price tag.

Ghosting can be caused by two things. Either too much toner is being laid down which incurs a starvation of it. Or, the image is being repeated due to a problem with the drum. In your case, I want it to be the "too much toner" deal, because a drum replacement can definitely be more costly in comparison to a design change. Yet, if it is under warranty, the drum will be replaced at no cost.
