First layer print issues

Hey y'all,

I've been trying to get my first level prints to be smooth. I've been consulting the handbook and I can't tell whats wrong with it. I've cleaned the print bed with both soap and water and isopropyl alcohol and that doesn't help. Here's a pick of a 75mm by 75mm by 0.2mm square I had fail while trying to get a smooth first layer. I'd appreciate and hell y'all can offer.

Did you try different filament? This one might be old or wet.

I'll be watching this thread. My first layer looks like this... but it may just be that I'm printing at 0.30mm DRAFT? PLA of unknown pedigree, since it came with the used printer I just bought. My prints are working well, TBH, but in the interest of learning and getting things right early on - I'd love to know if there are steps to make this first layer looking great. TIA.
