I've been getting this error lately on my FB700:: 'No Service Station Current Detected' error code: W-SS-5 I have been able to troubleshoot my way around most things on this machine but I don't even know where to start with this one. Its still printing and has not effected the quality but I'm...

I'm printing on metal street signs on a flatbed and am trying to make the final product more permanent. I'm using adhesion promoter before printing so the ink sticks good but I'm still not confident in its durability. We have pressure sensitive lam that works great for other stuff but on metal...

I'm trying to find a way to run stuff through my fb700 and just have the UV lamps run without printing. I've had a couple times I have wanted to do this but never really pursued it. This time around we are trying to find a solution to laminate rigid media and there seems to be "UV Curable"...

Thanks guys :) Thank you all for the troubleshooting ideas. I have tried everything that has been suggested and am still having the same outcome. 'typstries', you said a couple things which I'm not sure how to do or if its possible at all on my machine. I'm including a picture of fine text...

update... no dice :( I cleaned the ionizers very well and sprayed the board with anti static spray and the result was the same. I was really hoping it was that simple but unfortunately it is not. I just got a vacuum pressure error yesterday but I'm not sure that a vacuum issue would have this...

re: A failing head would show up in the jet pattern right? By heads being set to high you mean the head height in general? wouldn't that make everything overspray (all colors, all directions)? It doesn't seem to happen on all the heads. I hope its just static and haven't really explored...

As you can hopefully see from the image, there is an over spray in one direction and not the other. This image is flipped 90 degrees so the spray is horizontally not vertically. Ive done everything I can think of to fix it. manual calibrations of bidi, Head-head, jet map. I even wiped the...

what about a wifi extender? I had a similar problem in my house which is a weird shape and spread out with the wifi in one corner and my room in the far opposite corner of the house. I got a wifi extender for like $20 and it brought 1 bar up to full bars. The one I bought was a cheap one...

I print a lot of full bleed boards on my Scitex FB700 and there is a lot of buildup in certain areas to the point where you can see the bumps through roll media. Although it is not effecting things yet in undoubtedly will in the near future and was wondering if anyone had any Useful tricks on...

thanks for the responses Thanks for the feedback guys, I will definitely check out the mentioned references. I would like to answer some of the comments: - As far as why did we get the FB700... They had been thinking about expanding the Wide Format side of things and this seemed to make sense...

Hello all :-) I've been on this site for almost a year now as I was recommended it from a tech but haven't used it a whole lot so I guess I would still consider myself "new" to the site. We are a print production facility in SoCal that has been around for a while but has primarily been...

I've been having issues with banding on my Scitex FB700. Being under warrantee, HP continued to send a tech out to replace parts to troubleshoot the problem over the last few weeks. He's now been here several times and has replaced every moving part in the machine (motors, wheels, bearings...

Sorry guys, was given wrong specs, only .02 tolerance threshold but still skeptical Thanks for the input guys and you reiterated that at a .002 tolerance that was definitely a nogo, as much as I would like to perform miracles. But now its only .02 and they have agreed to pay for a 36" x 48...

I have a customer that needs a bw overlay for a solar panel that is 200" long and needs the print to stay with .002" throughout the print. We generally print graphics on this machine so this type of print/specification is a little out of our element. I would like to think that on Max DPI mode...

I keep seeing these youtube videos where people are using the machine I work with daily (scitex FB 700) and printing on doors that have beveled centers that are a good 1/2" lower than the head height must be to clear the material. Having done this with stuff like guitar heads, it starts to...
