MImaki printing light. ( Not full saturation )

[The LoneStar]

So I Just can't figure out why my mamaki CJV30 seems to be light on its prints. Yes it is looking a little bit grainy and have to keep the resolution and passes up so I get no bands.

are you using the correct printer profiles ?

media feed correction
drop position correction

Yup same ones I've used for years, and even the test print is light, not profiles

Might be a different situation, but I was having a very similar issue. I found that I had a roll of vinyl that was shipped to me that was way past it's shelf life. All my trouble shooting was done with same roll so results never changed. Once I opened a new roll of media the print was correct.

Are you using a bulk system at all?
