Clean the optical sensor. Ensure the vinyl is loaded straight and the blade is sharp and properly installed. Recalibrate the cutter if possible and check software settings.
Uneven heat application on the press
Ensure the silicon pad is clean and free of debris. Check that the pressure is adjusted correctly and evenly distributed across the surface. Allow the press to reach the set temperature fully.

Verify that genuine sublimation ink cartridges are installed. Run printer head cleaning cycles as per the printer's manual. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the print settings.
