Hey all, not sure what you think this could be. I have white dots showing up in my solid colors. This image shows an area of the print that is about 6" x 6". We're using a Latex 310 for reference. Does this look like a bad printhead, or maybe plasticizer migration? I'm printing rich black on 3M IJ180CV3. I'm scratching my head on this. Thanks in advance for any insight!

Looks like plasticizer.
You can try to clean a part with ipa and print, if it helps it's plasticizer. If another material works it's plasticizer.
Well okay not everything is plasticizer issue. There can also be other issues with the finish of the vinyl.

My gut tells me that's what's going on.

I've seen this before when someone was running a diesel engine outside the printroom window. Screwed the window closed and it never happened again.

3M 180 is defective right now... This is happening to a lot of people, especially latex and Epson users.
Do you think this has anything to do with the PVC shortage and shortage of cast vinyl in general? That's interesting timing
