What is the print direction? Did carriage move in the text direction?
Was there something around the text like pictures or else? It's important to know.

have you checked your file to see if the all of the text has the same color build?
type is horizontal so the printhead is oriented to print it left right. Put another way the printer is oriented to print it like a typewriter. There is an offwhite color in the backround and the file is an eps. Its a new problem but not a new job, been doing these types of prints for about 2 years.
yes its all one color black.

Well then it's a momentary movement error.
Did you attach to take-up? Or did you move the material by hand, did it touch the floor, end of the roll, something else? Have you cleaned the OMAS window?
If you want you can turn off OMAS and do a manual feed calibration. That should solve it.

what is best way to clean? Rubbing alcohol?
here are my recent alignment tests. NOt sure how to read these but they look good?

It doesn't have anything to do with your alignment because it works most of the time.
You need to go to substrate Library and modify the print mode you are using. There is advanced settings and OMAS option to turn it off. At the same place you need to introduce advance calibration value. That test you can find in the settings under image quality maintenance.
All this stuff is also in the user guide.
If I had to guess maybe that 3rd party take up of yours gave it a good pull or something, because that sort of thing made this error happen.

ok
ok thanks. I am running my machine off a laptop. I ordered a desktop at the advice of many, but just wondering if that might be causing any of these problmems?

No it won't cause this unless it keeps stopping during printing all the time.
Still, this is purely a material movement error.

You might try increasing your vacuum settings if you think the material might be lifting.
how do I adjust the vacuum settings?

I still recommend the user guide to you. It's all explained there and do you know what is the best thing? It's free! No need to pay anyone.
Vacuum you can find in the same advanced settings menu I was talking about earlier.
Or when you print you have to go to the window that shows your job printing, time left etc. and there should be button to change some settings on the fly. Vacuum is one of them.

Tap the picture of the job on the display and the next screen will have a "adjustments" button, hit that and you have vacuum settings with others that can also be changed.

It's a little different on L315 as it has smaller screen. Sort of same path tho.

I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet, but what is your ink density? After printing on phototex and other fabrics for year's, that inconsistent haloing is actually the ink bleeding into the fabric. It can be solved by reducing the ink density.
Being a fabric product the fibers can draw ink into them. I bet if you print the same file and same profile on a vinyl substrate you will get different results.
