It looks like something is on the bottom of the carriage. Is the print quality good on a production piece?

Open up your print head carriage as if you were going to change a print head. Check the printheads closest to you (front row) first. I bet they are good but have ink built up. These are latex so either using the stuff provided with your maintenence cleaning lit or just a micro Fibre towel and water. Once you finish the front do the back row. Then see if that helps.
 
I have this happen on my crappy test material I use to run the printhead maintenance and tests with. It just doesn't seem to want to absorb/cure the ink on that material but looks fine on the regular vinyl I run with the same tests. HP 360

i get something like it if the media profile i select doesn't like the type of vinyl i use. usually with gloss poster paper if i select HP Photo paper it does something similar.
