Got an anycubic resin printer and I'm using their high speed resin (because it was bundled for free), and i tried to send a file using the high speed setting.

After the print it was seemed to be ok, then after i left in a bath of ethanol (IPA can't be found in stores in my country) i got all those holes.

What's the problem?

A slicer problem? The ethanol bath? The high speed resin that's not good?

It was the resin. Once I bought a resin from another brand, it printed perfectly

It really puzzles me why they would bundle 2 kg of low quality "high speed" resin that isn't even able to correctly print the test files...

Wow okay, definitely unexpected, but I'm glad you figured it out!

Maybe the reseller just wanted to get rid of bad stock?

I noticed that that "high speed resin" was sold out even if they were still bundling it with new printers

Then I realized that the profile for that resin in their own official slicer had half the vertical resolution and half the exposure time. It's something broken that they created just for allowing the marketing to say "the fastest printer on the market, full prints in 2 hours instead of 8". Even the demo file that was given with the resin had layer delamination when printed, and that's the best use case, an empty cylinder that needs no support and has a constant wall thickness all around
