We have SG400's and SG3110DN's and all behave perfectly. We print a great deal of light coloured vector based artwork so any issues would show up straight away.

Okay so there is definitely a fault somewhere. Strange that I've seen it happen in two separate sg400's and other people have reported this problem.

really hard to make out in the pic but it looks like a dithering problem

Would that be a software or hardware problem?

ICC or Powerdriver ?. Worth printing a gradient that includes your problem colour, strange things can happen with colours outside the printer colour capability. Are you printing anything else ?.

just printed it on my 3110 its a smooth as a babys behind, id say you have either an ink issue or a settings issue.

I tried changing the speed settings in powerdriver but that didn't really make any difference. Sawgrass are currently looking into it, they aren't sure what's going on with it.
