I had a film issue previously - uneven blacks with or without white under. It turned out to be that my printer does not like hot peel film, tried different rolls with same result. Went back to the economy cold peel and everything was perfect.
The print I am doing now is onw we have done quite a few of. It printed perfectly on beginning of roll of cold peel earlier this month. Then today, it began with the splotchiness again. It was the end of the roll so I assumed maybe film issue. But new roll, different lot, and different brand and issue is exactly the same, so I am ruling out the film for now.
RIP settings are the same. Only difference is we have had a rare cold spell here in AZ, and it is all we can do to get the shop up to 70 degrees, and I am thinking this has something to do with it.
