Ironing jumping around.

Hi all. I am looking to print out a simple block (ironed) with some overlay. 

There is a problem. As you can see in the image with the white text, the slicer slices it so that the printer jumps around while doing the ironing. This makes the different sections very visible, unlike the first image, where it's all in one direction.

My question is, can I make it cover the entire length of the surface area without jumping around, and can I THEN print the white stuff on top of it? I did not find any settings for this. Any ways to get around this? The ironing looks excellent when it's not jumping around.

Many thanks.

Ironing is only a shortcut for post processing where suitable.  Print monochrome, spray with a thixotropic paint then finish the details with a couple of coats of a contrasting colour.

Cheerio,
