None taken mate, it wouldn’t have been the daftest thing I’d ever done

Definitely printing on the right side mate

It’s definitely compatible with eco solvent ink. It’s looking like contamination. Gave a couple of meters a good alcohol wipe before it went through and printed flawlessly, apart from a few small patches that I missed. Going to be a long old process is this one
