Irregular first layer problem

First layer .2mm .4mm layer .8mm layer

I have changed speed, changed Z height, changed temp of both bed and extruder but keep getting same problem. Happens with both PLA and PETG. Do I have a heat bed problem? Or am I missing something?

Your first layer 'Z' offset is calibrated a little too low.  It looks like there are fingerprints on the build sheet in a couple of places near the edges.

Cheerio,

I clean my bed with alcohol between each printing. I will try again to adjust my Z axis offset. Have messed with this before but did not solve problem. Will advise 

Thanks for the answer.

If that's not shifting it then it's time for the dishwashing detergent (Dawn/Fairy) and plenty of HOT water.

Cheerio,
