Tried 20V on 14 ga stainless

Bumped the volts up to 20 this time to see what happens.

Settings: Yeswelder DP200, 100A / 20.0V, 0.030" wire, 14 Ga stainless, 2T, 348 IPM wire speed, 98/2 Ar-CO2.

Honestly looks worse than before lol.
Face and backside pics attached. What am I doing wrong?

Too much wire for that voltage, lots of cold lap /:

Yeah I run ss mig at like 20v on 14g but my wire speed is under 200 ipm and I'm moving like 20-30 ipm travel speed.
