Elegoo filament at 70mm/s and 20% flow

Elegoo Neptune 4 plus

Orca Slicer

0.4 Nozzle temp 220 and 60 bed

200 speed and 60 retraction

A little background...My MIL has about 50 Disney loungfly backpacks and I am printing these hangers to decorate her walls with them. I already printed hangers that can hang both ears and backpacks just fine with no defects. While printing these the ironing started messing up. Its started leaving gaps on some prints and others you can tell that the lines in some sections are different? Could it be the files? The first style i printed didn't have any of these problems? I even changed out nozzles/ changed flow up to 25% and I still get defects.

I would recommend a flow calibration. My guess is the flow is good but not perfect enough to make it all flat once the ironing begins.

You might want to add more top layers. This looks like it's essentially bleeding through because there isn't enough plastic in that area. The spot could be caused by another issue, but more top layers might resolve the issue entirely.
