Strange ripples at the end and start of each layer

Could someone please remind me how to get rid of these artifacts? I remember that there is some sort of setting in Cura that addresses this particular issue but I can't quite remember which one.

In case its hard to see in the photos there are some odd artifacts that are created when the printhead finishes and starts drawing layers.

    I'm pretty sure it's the speed change.  Set the infill/inner/outer shell speeds all to the same speed and I think it will mostly go away.  When it starts the outer shell it typically drops the speed in half and so you get brief overextrusion as the pressure is equalized for faster printing and then it suddenly slows down.

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
