Dear, I have a problem with printing on city light and blueback paper on Roland SP-540i, I tried various profiles but I could not solve the dot printing and color spillage (one color entering another), I tried several rolls but the same on each. Could someone help me, I tried to reduce the consumption of paint to the smallest and the heaters and passages, but all the same. can you help
I also tried printing on latex, but the printing is much, much better

Looks like there might be a coating on that paper for aqueous inks. Solvent inks usually aren't compatible with that type of coating. There are solvent printable papers out there with no coating though.

Uncoated citylight needs to print with custom density linearization. You have to limit density to about 100℅ ink and if you want somewhat vivid colours (that you are not going to get on that cheap paper) you need to use multistrike (several passes over and over) and a delay of at least 5 seconds on each strike... So expect no more than 1 meter hour.

My advice is to return the paper since is not for ecosolvent and buy a good coated citylight (double the price, but prints fast as a vynil and can print vivid colors with little ink and no spillage at all)
