On our old Gerber we'd put one or two layers of thick transfer tape to the bottom side of the sheets so we could cut into that, but it wouldn't spoil the vacuum (let more and more vacuum leak as we cut more and more shapes) on the sheet.
We've had many, many ups and downs with our R2000 too. When it's working, it generally works well. The time needed to print based on media selection is a pain in the butt. The fragility of the inks is also a big problem. Overall we've been happy when the printer isn't having problems. When...
Styrene can yellow long term Vs PVC. We find a lot of retailers do not want PVC anymore because they want to appear 'greener' in terms of waste and recyclability. PVC was always a good alternative to a client that wanted acrylic, but didn't have the budget for it for store fixtures and POP stuff.
Flexible ink's another one to add to the list. Offhand I think you usually suffer some gamut loss, but we didn't have any problems selling printing with a flexible inkset to our clients all said and done.
We're not on a roll to roll, but having had all kinds of curing system problems on our R printer, the curing units accumulate dust quickly on our machine. I'd think after 2yrs you could definitely use a deep cleaning in there.
We just got a GFP 563TH and have been happy with it. We replaced a monster AGL unit that was a mess. We can't do hot melt lams with the GFP, but so far it hasn't hurt us in the least bit.
Yes, I would recommend the same. Complain to the vendor, complain to HP, it's the only way to get them to accommodate. I've had so many problems with my R2000, but I'm not quiet about it to HP. They can definitely send an applications engineer back to you to get the profiles and fine tuning...
We have these problems on our R2000 too and my first check is always to check the outboard wiper. Not sure if the R2Rs are built the same way, but it's been a consistent hassle on the larger machines.
I've got a whole new batch of tile gasket to put on the bed soon. I'll take a bunch of pics when I get to it and start a thread about it in the cnc forum.
