To understand what is happening to your media, please see the solution in another post: https://hplatexknowledgecenter.com/forum/default/printing-problem-substrate I suggest you to print with a new fresh roll as I believed what you are experiencing is Plasticizers on your media.

Hello, I believe from the picture, you are in fact experiencing Plastizer issues... This can happen on PVC based medias for different reasons but the most common is media that has been stored for some time and/or stored in hot environments for long periods of time. The easy way to check this is to use IPA (Alchohol) and clean an area of the banner, then print... If the image quality is now better in the area that was cleaned, then you can be assured this is an issue with your media and plasticizer migration. Make sure to use "Fresh Media" that has been stored properly and make sure to "Rotate" your stock using a "First-in-First-Out" method.
