Fish Eye

[formanek]

Mutoh 1614. Eco inks. Avery MPI 1005ez. Printed over 20 rolls of this stuff and all of a sudden I notice fish eyes. Every color. Tried a different material and same thing. Any clues?

Figured it out. Bad roll of media. Easy fix. Hoping it wasn't printer issue and it wasn't.

Looks like there are silicone splatters on the media which prevent the ink to adhere.

Can you send a pic of that. Having issues again and we are thinking that it is low humidity. Only 22% in the shop. Tech said between 40-60%.

Wooo Whooo! It turns out to be a humidity issue or lack there of. The shop was sitting at 20% humidity. The media then was grabbing static electricity and causing the fish eye symptoms. Learn something new every day.

i would find that explanation very hard to believe. i would pin it on contaminated media.

ive printed 90823048203984230948 miles of media and NEVER have ONCE given two donkey dungs about the humidity and havent had that problem unless there was something on the media.
