Indeed. Her afterimages are solid clones. However, they are still the result of speed. Supposedly.

"Blake's most remarkable quality is her speed. Her speed is such that she is actually able to leave behind multiple clones, which is demonstrated during her fight with the AK-130 Androids and Roman Torchwick. This is revealed to be her semblance, which is useful for surprising or disorienting enemies, and also quickly covering short distances. Blake's first use of "after-image" in the series was in Players and Pieces, while fighting the Nevermore. Blake's frequent use of "after-image" was inBlack and White where she used it to her advantage in her fight with Roman, much to which he was able to easily deflect."
