What ink are you using?

 

[Freebass]

Eco solvent inks
I’ve tried both print heater and dryer at max heat still no good it doesn’t seem to drying quick enough then it’s runs as as it feeds onto the dryer ….
Both print heater and dryer feel hot do their working

Have you tried a different profile? Looks like too much ink is being put down for that media. If not already using the profile for that media, might want to get it and try it.

Looks like it is laying down too much ink for that material. What are you printing on?
What are your heater settings? What are your VW settings?

What ink? Some cheap china ink or roland ink?
It is a lot of ink put down.

I should also mention I’m printing straight from flexisign pro

Try Oracal 3651 profile in Flexi or some other Oracal 3*** profile. Is it Roland brand ink or a generic brand?

or generic vinyl profile is what fixed my too much ink laying

Have you tried to send to Versaworks, then print from Versaworks instead of printing from Flexi?
In the past, I tried to print from Flexi and it soaked my vinyl with the matching profile. I went back to Versaworks for the same material, used the Versaworks profile and it was fine.
