I’ll second what balstestrat said. There are some substrates that I have to use the Takeup reel for every time. What you described happening to you is fixed 100% of the time when attached to the TUR before printing.
I’ve not printed on 651 with my 700w but I have used 751 and 951 with great success. I have also printed on 3m scotchcal 50 series quite a bit with no issues. I’m based in Florida, plenty of humidity here and I’ve had no complaints of fading or scratches with unlaminated prints.
It sounds like...
So there is a problem with my white ink recirculation. When it is going through its recirculation cycle it actually leaks white ink. The maintenance cartridge gets covered in white ink and because its so saturated it then gets all of the other printheads saturated in white ink. When I am...
Ah yes, of course I'd get that response. Believe it or not, shutting it down every night has been the solution, not the problem. I should have prefaced my comment with the fact that I've had it for a year and during the first 9 months I let it idle and NEVER shut it down in fear that I was...
I have the 700w. For the most part it’s been good. It’s slow to start up but once you start printing for the day it has good output. You’ve got to be diligent in storing the white printheads when not needed because the automatic maintenance on this machine seems to devour white ink like there’s...
I only swap out the white printheads over the weekend or if im not printing with them the next day. This is the only printer I have ever owned but I've timed it on numerous occasions and first print of the day doesnt start for easily 5 minutes. If my next print isnt sent for an hour after a...
I have a 700w. From the moment I send a print it takes easily 6-7 minutes or so to warm up before it will even start printing. I’ve watched video comparisons of the UVJ and the 700/800 series HPs and the Mimaki is halfway through the print before the HP starts printing. The hp has a faster print...
While the new location appears picturesque, it doesnt sound like an ideal location for a sign shop...even if you arent printing. You will have no temperature or humidity control at all. If you are like me and attract the wind when I am trying to install outside then I wouldnt think about it. By...
I have the 700w as well. Anything I tried to print like the images you attached turned out the exact same. I am curious if you figured out the issue. Hoping us 700w users can band together to get the problems figured out.
I have had the HP 700W for almost a year now. I have not been able to get color consistency that I feel a 23K$ printer should. The white printheads are the only ones Ive had to replace but I use white with 99% of the printing I do because Im printing on clear or black vinyl for the most part...
We had an 0022 error on ours and it was due to our ink lines leaking onto the circuit boards and cables. It was a known issue that HP was apparently trying to get scheduled with all 700 owners but they didnt get to me in time.
Im still teaching myself how to use this HP700W and have success most of the time. Today's problem was that I have white text along with other text of various colors that I want to print on black vinyl and then cut out around it on the graphtec. I am using the newest version of flexi. It will...
It’s possible, we looked into this with another business venture we started. The problem we ran into is every customer we had needed their own custom programming in order for it to integrate because they were on different platforms and/or their orders have different custom variables. If all of...
I routinely deal with importing products from China on alibaba so I’ll share my experience.
It’s very hit or miss. Sometimes you get a product that is comparable to US made but I find that isn’t true most of the time. There is almost always a headache involved in the process that makes the...
1. From flexi's Rip and Print Dialog box you go to the contour/cut tab. Click the "options" button in the Registration Mark section.
2. "Print mask around registration marks" needs to be selected. Also, the grimco tech and I determined that we could not get it to print this mask if you printed...
I just started trying the briteline holographic vinyl and havnt had any success yet. After loading the substrate I attempt to move the vinyl further out to attach to the take up reel and the vinyl starts to slip and you can see the rubber rollers spinning but substrate isnt moving. It does this...
I’m just adding this just in case someone needs the answer in the future. When printing on dark substrates you can choose to print a white border around the registration marks in flexi.
When the print dialog box is open you go to the tab for cutter settings, there you’ll find settings for...
Bought a 700w in February but it’s my first printer ever. After getting past the initial learning curve I though I was getting somewhere but I’ve been dealing with color inconsistencies like someone else mentioned. It was offline for 3 weeks and would not boot up because 4 of the ink lines...
