Issues printing 1" round labels with lots of detail

[SOLO_Fab]

Hey guys my client wants a 1" round label printed out and the finer details seem not to being printed. I have rotated the image for finer clarity and raised the detail to 720@720x720 8 Pass high quality and 360@720x1440 16 pass and the labels in all of these settings come out looking great but the mountains in the label don't print. I tried changing the color profile to premium coated and still the same. I have an Epson SC 80600 and using orajet 3164 gloss vinyl. I am assuming that my printer just doesn't want to print detail on an image this small? I attached a pic of what the label should look like and how it comes off the printer. Any advice would be great I am assuming the label is just to small....thx

Print a few bigger ones to see if the result is better, if it is the same then you know its not the size

Looks like a file issue to me, try to swap it to. Few different file types and see if that fixes it

What rip are you using? Coming from a offset printing background I woul say transparency issue in your rip.

I am using Onyx Thrive, I had this issue with larger labels and selected the premium coated option on the color options and that had fixed it. This go around with a much smaller label no dice.

I am using a pdf file, what other file would you suggest?

Export as a .tiff at 300 dpi and test. If that background prints then it’s a transparency issue. Onyx Thrive does just fine with multiply but not with any other options such as overlay.
You can also set your rendering intent to the same on the both CMYK and RGB. If that doesn’t fix it it’s most likely the transparency and the background will need to be flatttened and then placed behind your image. That way you can still use the vector cut line without having to send two files.

100% transparency issue. I bet it's RGB with Transpancies, flatten your Transpancies then rip it.
