    Hi Kev,
    Have a Cadett, Had a little trouble at the start getting the reds to print dark enough… several hours of messing got it sorted though.
    The only real problem I have had was when I went on holiday for a week, came back and only two colours were printing. Did as per the manual, head washes etc.. but no joy.. Had to get an engineer out to sort it, Ink in the pipes had dried, since then no problems though. I have only had it 3 months but have since orderd the new 54″ Cadett due in Jan…
    I think they are a great machine but the 30″ is just not wide enough..
    Cheers
    Ian

    Hi Rob,
    No I did not do a flush…. 😳
    Just did a clean using pads etc…
    I had not been told about the problem of leaving the machine standing… But to be fair I was not charged for the engineer or the new pipes so I cant really complain apart from 2 days lost production.
