  1. Carriage motion failure

    We haven't replaced the Data Cable, but did replace the carriage drive assembly, the tension assembly, encoder strip and belt and all seems right with the world. Aside for now. The cyan head isn't filling with ink. Not even making an attempt to fill it actually. Oh boy. This month is not...
  2. Carriage motion failure

    Found the Data cable. The pink or purple cable at the top of the head right? Run's all the way to the PC. I guess, that can go back, it's constantly being moved. Interesting. I can order one of those next, I guess.
  3. Carriage motion failure

    This might sound stupid, but which cable is the data cable? There are many cables in it. And seriously, the data cable? We can keep it running. It just wont do multiple prints anymore. After it does a print, it goes into the purge cycle then that is when Carriage Motion failure comes up...
  4. Hp fb700

    .. We have the roll to roll addition. You can set it up completely, we haven't done that. There is no way of stopping the rolls from floating if it isn't completely level.
  5. Hp fb700

    You can trick it, but you have to make sure your bed is completely flat, and you don't run real long runs, as the material will float from side to side. We tricked ours into by running it as an N-Up. Leaving the rollers up top and letting it drag the material off the tables. So the answer is...
  6. Carriage motion failure

    Have you found a solution? Just wondering if you have found a solution to this? Getting the same thing. So far we have replaced the Encoder Strip, and retensioned the Carriage Belt (Waiting on a new carriage belt to arrive). Have also cleaned everything we could think to clean, checked all...
  7. Hp fb700

    I dont notice the Offgasing until I go next door and grab a beer to bring back to the shop (of course only after closing) Then I still can't smell it, but I taste it. Its weird. You do need a good 24 hour cure on the Prints. Mine the print is fairly fragile up to about 24 hours, then its...
  8. Direct to substrate pricing

    This is how I price mine. I figure out the time in minutes its going to take to print. Then take my burden rate and figure it out to the minute. Add the sqft cost of substrate and ink, then add the burden cost of the time involved to make the product. Then I pop in my multiplier for qty and...

    Tell the customer Tell the customer to take the top to your Body shop and have them sand it down and repaint for smooth texture. Otherwise don't bother. If its a newer model JK with a painted top, then this shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise if its an older model TJ don't bother. Just do the...

  16. HP FB700 Purchase

    When you purchase the printer, during the install. MAKE SURE the tech that does the install doesn't just power the thing up and run some test prints. Mine printed just great out of the box, but after the tech spent another three hours calibrating and aligning she prints perfectly! I have to...
  17. HP FB700 Purchase

    Love mine, flawless and maintains itself pretty much. Just do what the printer asks and it will serve you for many years. To white or not to white. Be aware that when you do your switch over to white the printer will be down for 4 hours total. Two hours for switching from LC/LM to white...

  19. HP Scitex FB700 + Onyx Job Question need Help

    I don't use onyx we use caldera but it shouldn't be a problem at all. You can print onto the belt. Just make sure you get some good tape to clean the belt off right away. If the belt gets to marked up, the media sensor will start to read wrong when detecting the media. The printer will...
  20. Best Flatbed?

    We have been using our FB700 for close to six months now, and all I gotta say is its GREAT! We run an all Mac setup with Caldera as our RIP software. Very happy with it, about the only thing I can say is, I wish either the printer or the RIP could batch jobs. Like If I am N-UP on the printer...
