In the middle of a print job my quality has started degrading substantially... Can anyone give recommendations based on the attached photos what the issue can be?

The printer is an HP Latex 315 (Out of Service Contract)

Looks like media contamination or something printed without heat.

Thanks for the quick reply. So I tried changing the media and it was the same problem. As for the heat you can see the quality problem as it is printing (before it gets to the heater)...

Looks like might be an optimizer problem. How much usage is on the optimizer printhead?

Thanks for the direction! I manually took out the Optimizer printhead and cleaned it with distilled water and its printing great again :)

I think it needed more thorough cleaning than what you get with the "Clean Printheads" operation.
