Spotting on DTF prints with GTX Pro

[Cathy K]

We have been doing DTF for several weeks now with our GTX Pro, and our biggest issue is spotting.  It's most apparent on the black ink, but you can see it throughout.  We print at levels 3/1, so minimal white ink.  We print, dust right away, then dry for 2 minutes.  We have tried pressing at medium pressure and at high pressure.  No difference.  We haven't been pre-heating the film, but we're going to give it a try and see if that helps.  Any suggestions as to how to eliminate this?

What temperature for curing? Usually that means it's undercured/ cured too hot and too fast.
