Why do I have lines?

I am getting lines on dark colors when printing?
Here is a picture for reference ( I have the same issue with a black writing in a different print so I know it’s not the print) and my printing settings.

I don’t know anything about the printer you’re using here, but our (not DMS, corporate) plotter does this when the ink heads need cleaning/replacement, or sometimes when the ink itself is low.

I see two issues. First, you should not be printing directly to the Sawgrass printer. In the Dye Sub 101 training I instruct you to print to the Sawgrass Print Manager. That is what does the color correction for the color shift that occurs during the transfer. Second, You should always do a nozzle check, and possibly a head cleaning, before printing your transfers.

Agreed. Also when windows sends the print job, it only sends it as basic paper, and not the texprint-r which would also affect the amount of ink that is layed down
