Polymaker Pre-Foam LW PLA will not stick to print bed, but will print purge line.

I am trying to 3d print the Piper J-3 Cub with Polymaker pre-foam LW PLA. This filament is prefoamed, and does not need special settings to print like normal LW PLA does. When starting the print, the printer will print the purge line perfectly, fine, but whenever it goes to print the actual part, it will not print. Is this because I am using a Smooth PEI bed? I tried printing with painters tape over the bed and it printed only a slight bit better, but still was terrible. Any advice?

Had same issue with another brand. Used acetone on smooth bed multiple times with cloth. Now sticks very well.
