I was given a good tip for this.

Put a thin white outline round your lettering, this usually help when I’m having this problem.

Good point Steve I also put a white hairline around all the black its just enough to stop the bleed 😀 😀

I also get this when printing from Corel on the VersaCamm. (It looks like "overspray") Solved by printing from ColouRip. Sometimes, when printing from Corel, I get a magenta "shadow" about 0,5mm wide next to blue text. Solved the same way. The white outline trick wont solve the problem, only disguise it – effective with yellow, not so with other colours.

Sounds like a bad profile. If i had to guess i would say that the black ink limits are set too high. If you have the option, try to bring them back a little, if you dont know what your doing, you should probably not touch it and ask your supplier to re-profile the media if you have that service available, because if one ink limit is set incorrectly, its possible that the rest of them are too and need re-calibrating. It could save you a few bucks in unnecessary ink being laid down while printing too.

But playing with the linerisation table can screw up your profile if the adjustment is too large???

dont wish to be rude here but are you not missing the point if it was printing ok then why has this started.

i have had this in the past and could not put my finger on the answer but these points were corrected and the problem gone.

deflecting nozels on the black head.
better storage of materials.
remove carts and shake them gently for a min.
a more costant temp of the machines and material enviroment

what temp does the bed show first thing in the morn its not fair on the machine and materials to go from say 10 deg to 40 deg and expect it to work properly.

just some ideas for you
