Sounds like silicone... (fisheye in auto paint lingo) If that's the case it's nothing to do with the printer, but contaminated media.

Have you tried a different media?

My mimaki tech said buy a Roland...

Yeah sounds like bad media....have you tried other media's?

I take it that it is not just one color?

How do the test prints look like?

Print a solid black bar, if this still shows up with white dots (check the image by holding it up to to a light source and look ato it through the backer of the media) Than the media is contaminated. Those spots are just rejecting the ink. The other thing I also ran in to is too heavy of an inkload, try reducing the amount of ink laid down, or a different profile

What brand of ink are you using?

thanks guys - OEM Inks here.

I actually finished the end of the media but I think it was either the end of the roll being contaminated or it was just super hot inmy office...

it was late friday night and i didnt think about turning on the AC
