watermark on print job, help

[Hugh Potter]

do you mean the marks under the laminate?

looks it’s the adhesive, probably a pressure issue, would depend on what laminate you’re using, I sometimes get marks or silvering but it generally just disappears in a few days.

The other thing might be that the print wasn’t left long enough to gas out properly, causing some kind of reaction with the adhesive.

Lynn was the print greasy to touch before laminating?

Seen this a few times when we are requested to do rush jobs. Mainly because the print weren’t left to gas out long enough. But usually it does slightly go the next day 8).

Maybe a silly question but have you tried using a different media just to see if it still happened.

[Richard James Martin]

It may be too much ink and/or not enough heat?

Is it a generic profile being used or the correct one for that material…..

I sometimes get that effect on a high speed, heavy ink load with not enough heat. Especially red.

[Peter Cox]

Too much ink WILL make it pool like that.

I have the same printer I think it’s contaminated media, perhaps light dust is sitting on the media before the ink gets to it.

Try different media.. note I usually push about 20-30 cm of media forward to avoid any media with potential to hold dust /specs on it, I’d also do a maintenance clean on the head in case it’s that.
