SFG2010 - if you check these forums, and other forums, you will find that MANY Flexi-Jet L owners (I dare say, MOST) have gotten rid of their "L" model printers..... It was a good concept printer, but most people had a lot of trouble getting it to continue to operate properly for long periods of time, and there were a lot of things that needed more attention from the Belquette guys; additionally, at the time, the petty rivalry between the manufacturer and the master distributor prevented most of us from getting decent service.
In recent years, there may have been improvements made to the platform; I cannot speak to this, as I owned the 2nd Flexi-Jet L printer ever made. However, I tried calling all of my old Flexi-pals the other day, trying to find someone who might have a left over chip resetter - almost EVERYONE who I had originally lead into a Flexi purchase has long since sold their printer at a huge reduction - if I recall correctly, I ended up selling MY L model for less than half of what I paid for it.
If you are looking for a good printer, I would recommend checking out the newer model Belquette machine - the Mod1. Belquette has done a great job of implementing many of the nice improvements that would have been GREAT on the Flexi, so many years ago!
Epson 4800's which is even better
