  • static disturbances possible, if you have electrostatic altimeter, you can test it, if you do not have, please use the brush to wipe off the static
2. The disturbance also may come from the data cable , mother board, head board.

I'll bet it's in the file, if you look closely at that file you will see the black dots. It looks like a low res raster file from the image you posted.

the image is 300dpi whats strange is even on the white space where there is no design at all it prints the little black dots so its not just doing it over color. Is it possible to be a setting in flexi that i am missing when sending the job to the printer ?

Like the others said - static and/or overspray. Do a nozzle check or print a simple black border box from Flexi and see what happens. If it's repeatable on other files, then you know it's the machine.

It is possible for settings in the RIP to cause this type of 'smudge dots' to print in areas where there are white pixels, as is the case here. The choice of rendering intent is one possible source that can cause this. Absolute Colorimetric rendering intent chosen for raster data will create this effect.

The other black dots that are visible in chromatic highlight areas (such as yellow) are likely to be caused by a low K start value in the ICC profile that is being used by the RIP.
