So I've only ever bought polymaker PLA and I have gotten my printer making really good quality prints consistently using the plain matte grey PLA+ but recently started trying to print using satin green and satin black PLA panchroma (still polymaker brand) and the same settings on my printer had terrible results, I was finally able to get the satin black to print nicely by increasing the bed and nozzle temps by 5c but this hasn't worked with green, So I'm currently lost now.

Printer set up is QIDI q1 pro, 0.2mm nozzle, default settings in orca for my printer and original PLA settings for grey that worked 55c bed, 220c nozzle, the settings that worked for black are 65c bed for first layer, 60c for the rest, and 225c for first layer for nozzle and 220c for the rest but even these aren't working for the green. Like I said I have this dialed in and working amazingly with the matte grey, and all my PLA is kept in a dehumidifier box thingy that is made for spools of PLA and everything else is the same, did I just get a bad spool maybe?

Panchroma isn’t PLA I’m pretty sure so you’ll want to check their recommendations for printing settings on the Polymaker page

my bad, the green abd black are listed as PLA+ not PLA but still the print settings on the site are the same, I'm still lost here
