Window Perf

[GuizmoDesigns]

I'm having a print issue with my Roland VP-540, but it only appears on window perf. The material does not seem to be accepting the ink, leaving white spots around the holes in the material. I've been running this machine for 2 years and have never had the problem before.

I talked to Roland and they determined it was 'fish-eye' and caused by either static or dust particles, but all the anti-static options I tried have not helped at all. My next thought would be material, but it happens on 3 different rolls from 2 different vendors.

I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this?

Thanks!

heat and/or too much ink?

Have you checked out Staticure?

I am scratching my head on this one. It is the middle of the summer in Ft. Mill South Carolina so your neighbor to the north is Charlotte, NC and your neighbor to the northwest is Lake Wylie. Therefore, excessive humidity might be a culprit. By that I mean, the perf vision rolls are shipped to you via truck; so, they might have absorbed some additional moisture. Have you tried and "environmental" calibration? Did you have a similar occurence last summer; what about November, December, January?

It has been going on for a while now. we had a tech in back in March. So it was before the real humidity hit the area. But I don't discount that as a possibility.
