New Mutoh 1204 solid color issues

[biznitch]

I just recently purchased a mutoh vj 1204, and I'm just playing around with prints, and I noticed my red ink doesn't seem to "soak" into the vinyl as much as the other, printer came with Endura inks, I've attached an image of my sample print. Printing on oracal 3651 with correct profile in flexi cloud

Any help is greatly appreciated

This is only with the red? I've had this problem before, but with more colors to a print and it was the material being defective (i.e. old, mismanaged, etc).

You might visit your heater settings and jack them up a bit. Unfortunately anything packing the name 'Endura' is usually worthless crap. Most likely any inks carrying that same name are as well. Crap, that is.

Heaters

That is most likely Heater Settings...

Yep, turned up the heat and prints came out much better! Do color profiles adjust temps automatically? Or is that set manually all the time?

Thanks again for the replies

Heater Temps

From the Printer Options Tab in the Production always adjust temps here... I always check mine before a new job...
