The Uniform CADET has been a huge success since it’s launch in January 2004, with a huge number of sign shops now enjoying the benefits of printing to uncoated vinyls and banners at a fraction of the cost of other print technologies in common use.
Now bigger and better
The success of the CADET should be further compounded with the launch of the new 1400mm wide version that offers an even wider selection of uncoated media, reduced running costs and faster print speeds.
A real business builder
A Uniform CADET can really build your colour business. Time and again this has proven to be the case, with many CADET users quickly installing additional Uniform equipment to meet the demand they have created for vibrant, eye-catching full colour and high impact photographic signage.
Versatile colour production
The CADET really is a signmaking superstar, equally able to produce display panels, single operation print and cut decals, point of sale displays, vehicle livery, bespoke backlit signage, banners, and much more besides.
