Topic: Fill and quality question

I just got my solidoodle 4 about a week ago and I have been doing mainly test prints. Today I printed a poker chip as a test and I noticed that you can see threw it. The top and bottom layers have tiny wholes in them. This makes the print look cheap and not good quality. This also happens with my other prints. I printed the poker chip with .1 layer and .4 fill. Other things I have been printing have been .2 layer and .4 fill. Is there any way to make your prints look better, or at least make the top and bottom layers filled in completely?

Thank you
