Blurry Print on HP Latex 310

Hello,
We have been using Natura media SO800 (Ecosolvent Clear Film) for many years now with little issue. We are using it on a HP latex 310 primarily for printing out black on the film for screen printing positives.
The line quality has always been good. The last roll I installed I am getting terrible results with bleeding and fuzziness of the ink. I have attached a few images. I placed a quarter on the film so you can see the scale. Could the material be contaminated? We even tried to use the underside of the film to print on but had two media jams in a row. The curing temperature is right where it should be. You can actually see that it's printing blurry through the front window before it gets to the heater.

Usually optimizer issue assuming the material should work. Add 5-10% more to try and you can also max out the printzone airflow.

make sure media works with latex first...it may not be approved...then lower ink levels in a new media type, post optimizer a smidge and re-calibrate.
