  1. HP Latex 560: Is it possible to increase error/ink empty sound volume?

    Thank you - we didn't think to look under printer setup. Both printers were sent to "low", so we'll see if "high" makes any noticeable difference at all. Thanks again for your help.
  2. HP Latex 560: Is it possible to increase error/ink empty sound volume?

    I have 2 HP Latex 560 printers running side-by-side in the same area as two flatbed printers. The 2 Latex printers make a very soft sound effect when they run out of ink, and as we have gained more equipment, it has become more and more difficult to hear the sound - even in the same room. We...
  3. Can Onyx save frequently used color corrections?

    We are definitely not changing Pantone colors to CMYK. I was mostly just saying that the color I send is not the color I get. If I send (fake color for example) Pantone 12345 C to Onyx, the CMYK value it assigns by default does not match the Pantone Color Bridge. Frequently, the solution to my...
  4. Can Onyx save frequently used color corrections?

    I have been trying to search the Onyx user manuals to find a solution to this problem, but the user manual is difficult to understand. I have some customers that have Pantone colors that need to be adjusted in Onyx every time I print them. In some cases, the same 4 colors need to be changed...
  5. What would cause bubbles to appear weeks after intial install?

    Sorry, it's been a busy week. I'm just not getting back to this problem. Our prints are from an HP Latex 560. I am not familiar with the difference between polycarbonate and acrylic. I inherited these displays from another vendor, and we always work with acrylic on our projects (or at least...
  6. What would cause bubbles to appear weeks after intial install?

    I have an unusual installation problem that I haven't encountered before. My client has large 8' x 4' acrylic displays with vinyl graphics applied to them. The graphics do not cover all of the acrylic and are applied to the face of the acrylic (not reverse mounted prints). I did not produce...
  7. Need Help How to determine the right heat setting on Latex 560?

    My operators and I are still relatively new to working with our HP Latex 560. We have not really worked with custom profiles, and now I am running into a problem that I do not know how to solve. I had some training scheduled, but it was all postponed due to COVID-19, and now I'm in a bind. I...
  8. UV Lamp Filters for Scitex FB750

    This is excellent advice. I bought a piece of material to try making my own. Thank you for your help.
  9. UV Lamp Filters for Scitex FB750

    Has anyone found a way to order the UV lamp filters for the Scitex FB750 (or 500/550/700) printers without buying an entire kit of useless parts? I have enough kits to last me the life of the printer - but I'm short on just the black mesh UV lamp filters. I've does extensive research into it...
  10. Pinch Rollers for HP Latex 560

    Thank you. I saw this part number on a list of parts, but it was called "pinch rollers storm serv" and I wasn't certain what that meant.
  11. Pinch Rollers for HP Latex 560

    I am in a very similar situation to another user from earlier this year. I need replacement pinch rollers for our HP Latex 560, but I would very much like to not purchase the entire maintenance kit again. I have unneeded replacement parts filling up drawers, but I'm completely out of the part...
  12. Tracking printer up-time with the embedded server?

    I am trying to track how many hours of the day our HP Scitex FB700 is used. We have a lot of work, but the printer is frequently not printing due to personnel and work flow issues. I am trying to build a clear understanding of how much the printer is used so that we can set goals to improve...
  13. HP Scitex hitting material nearly every print

    I have a new issue with my HP Scitex FB700. We are running corrugated plastic blanks, 4 side-by-side. We run thousands of these pieces on a regular basis, but last week the carriage began striking the material closest to the service-end and knocking it out of position as soon as the printing...
  14. Any word on an HP Latex flatbed printer?

    We purchased an HP Latex 560 last year, and we absolutely love it. The only downside has been the need to apply vinyl whenever we use it. We also operate an HP Scitex FB700, which we also love, but the difference in print quality (or just the sheen of the print) between the two is significant...
  15. Question Latex 560: How do I know when it is time to replace a printhead?

    Can anyone give me an idea of what typical ink usage before replacement would be? eahicks mentioned 2800-3000 mL; the way the sentence is phrased I took that to mean that they should do better than that. My cyan printhead, in particular, is well beyond that.
  16. Question Latex 560: How do I know when it is time to replace a printhead?

    We purchased an HP Latex 560 back in April. We have not had any real problems with it; just a few user-created errors while we learn the machine. Now, I am getting concerned that it may be about time to replace some printheads, but I have no idea how to tell when I should. This is my current...
  17. Printing Directly To Acrylic Vs. Face Mounting

    Just to add some more detail about our specific situation: we are normally printing odd sizes but nothing extremely small. Typical prints are 30" x 30" or 20" x 12". They are interior displays that are resized to fit whatever wall space is available. Most of the prints are one-offs, so printing...
  18. Printing Directly To Acrylic Vs. Face Mounting

    We routinely print acrylic on a Scitex FB700. We are reverse printing with white ink and in generally works okay. The prints are fragile, and we often put a clear backer on them to protect the print. That is somewhat annoying, but it hasn't been a big deal. However, without fail, we end up...
  19. Hp Latex Print Life/fade Resistance?

    This is great information. Thank you for your help!
  20. Hp Latex Print Life/fade Resistance?

    We recently purchased an HP Latex 560. We're loving it so far. The only big question we have is about the print life. Does anyone know how well/long the prints last outdoors without laminate (and/or with laminate)? Most of our applications are temporary (no vehicle graphics), so it's not a...
