We're still ironing out (no pun intended) our milling of aluminum, up to 0.80" and dibond materials. Trying different settings and different bits. Having to do with bits, any good recommendations on brands? We use Esko Kongsberg bits, X-Edge, and thinking of trying out Helical. Has anyone used...

Thanks so much for all your help so far! As it stands now, we may unglue the cables from the board and try swapping or resetting. Our prime test is perfect, as well as overall quality of photos and text, but it's the solid colors that are giving us the issue.

The problem tends to happen in the higher quality settings (720 x anything else, 720, 1080, or 1440) Hasn't happened much at all at 540 dpi. The streaking is random, as in how far in from beginning of print. Sometimes a couple inches in from beginning, and sometimes a foot or two. I was just...

Print settings used are in the original post. Correct, the streaks do not extend across the entire width. In all different positions, on the left, or the right. Having to do with the belt being thicker, this could be possible. We have tested at different head gaps, but can't veer too far from...

All media types... acrylic, vinyl (clear and white) pvc. It happens on multiple art files, mostly noticeable in large areas of blue, white and grey solids.

Yes, all media types... acrylic, vinyl (clear and white) pvc.

Hello all! Our AGFA hybrid-flatbed has developed a problem that has stumped us and our technicians, so I'm turning to here for any extra advice. Please see the photos attached. It is subtle to see in the photos, but is more prominent in person. As you can see, there is a streaking and/or...

When we color match and send out a sample, could take 5 months for a client to get back to us for approval or for us to tweak the colors. We need to keep a copy to reference if the job gets approved and we need to keep color consistent.

Physical proofs, Yes. They are mostly rolls of vinyl of different sizes. When rolled up, they are a 4 inches in diameter and an array of different lengths. Any where from a 5 to 54 inches in length. So it's basically a bunch of tubes of media, different sizes sticking up out of a large bin...

Hello, when we produce samples for our clients, we always keep a copy for ourselves to reference. We mostly have rolls of vinyl, only a few solid substrate samples that we keep. Problem is our rolls are all different sizes and labeling them so all the labels are viewable without having to route...

Considering a new printer with inks that would be best with consistency of color and color matching. We have an HP 360 and 570 which run latex inks. Between UV, Solvent, Eco-Solvent, or Latex inks, (or another type of ink set that I don't know about), what would give the best color consistency...

Thank you very much! Will look into this.

For the Baltimore/DC area, we're looking for a local repair technician to diagnose and make repairs to this printer. https://www8.hp.com/us/en/commercial-printers/pagewide-industrial/fb750.html Does anyone know of a company or individual in the Baltimore/DC area that can come to our shop...

Thanks Pete! We've cleaned the Ionizer Bar and wiped down the material with alcohol first, and then with an anti-static spray. Didn't make much of a difference. However, the fuzziness seems to be very uniform. As in, there is a pattern that repeats up and down both sides of the fuzzy edge. If it...

Hello all! First time poster here. Any advice or tips would be much appreciated. Our HP Scitex FB750 flatbed printer is having a print quality problem. I've link a video and a few photos below. As you can see, the edges of our white ink banding is fuzzy. The photo links show close-ups of this...
