  1. HP700W - how to disable white ink long term?

    Is there a service-side procedure for disabling the white ink long term? Something like flushing the lines, perhaps? I would just like the proper terminology to ask my tech for this. I just can't get this thing to register white to CMYK, at the scale I'm printing. I've put a few months...
  2. Anyone have older firmware files?

    I'm trying to verify that a problem developed when I last updated the firmware. I was getting perfect white coverage, and now even when Onyx shows 100 percent spot, I am getting a pattern. It doesn't matter if I choose a mode with 160 percent white, either. Doesn't matter if I choose...
  3. HP700W firmware glitch

    Just a heads up for anyone else who might have been excited that the Sep 26 firmware update added a screen to adjust white alignment without require a status plot. It not only doesn’t work, it also accepts the input and keeps the new data, making you think it worked (it even tells you it was...
  4. HP700W tension settings

    Does anyone know exactly what happens when you change these settings? Here are my theories: -Input tension: controls the tension at the input roller, which is the roller that could be swapped out with a surface cleaning roller, but I can't see just how it would accomplish this. -Backward...
  5. 700W owners: White alignment problems?

    Are there any HP 700W owners that have this same problem? Our white ink never quite lines up with CMYK when printing white underflood or overflood. It’s perfect when printing spot. And it’s not off in a predictable or consistent way. Generally, the middle of the print is fine, but the edges...
  6. SAi license scam

    So I've been moving my license back and forth to do some work at home, and SAi has allowed this for months. Today, my copy woudn't work on any computer, and they said I have to pay $199 to unlock it. I think the honest thing to do is simply not allow me to detach the license after my limit is...
  7. XY Segmented?

    I’m using Cutting Master 4 and 5, and trying to make use of XY Segmented Type 2 registration marks. Seems that no matter what I try, it ignores the additional registration marks and treats it as a 4 mark job. Anyone else have this problem?
  8. FC-9000

    I’m having an issue with cut alignment. I can get perfect alignment on the left and right side, but the center is cutting just a little too high. Any theories?
  9. 700W color tests - Everything is opposite!

    I know you’re getting sick of hearing from me, but in today’s session, I printed CMYK color charts and observed that: 1) 4 color CMYK gives smoother looking colors than 6 color CMYKLcLm, in print mode with 16 pass 110 density. 2) Unidirectional mode looks worse than bi-directional when testing...
  10. 700W Take-up configuration

    It looks like my take-up is assembled differently than shown in the manual. Was this some kind of update to the design? You can see the silver bar at the bottom of mine was shown to be in front of the suppy roll in the manual. My printer doesn't even have hardware up there to hold it.
  11. 700W and print modes

    I’m new to this idea that so many settings are controlled by the media profile, and I find it quite limiting. With my other printers, if I want high res, it’s just an option I can click in the RIP. Same with white ink and unidirectional mode. They’re both individual options. Unless I’m not...
  12. Anyone using Flexi with HP 700W?

    I am unable to see Lc and Lm in the color mapping of PM. In fact, the color mode is always grayed out, and never shows CMYKLcLm. It's only ever CMYK, even when the profile shows CMYKLcLm on the printer side. Anyone else able to see this problem?
  13. 700W take-up unloading?

    So... during set-up, we were shown to simply tape the new roll to a bit of material on the take-up from a nearly empty roll. It's been like that for days, and includes a lot of test prints from the tech. Today I tried clicking "Unload take up roll", and it just started rolling the media back...
  14. 700W white ink puddle?

    Brand new machine. There was a minor head strike during install, so maybe it’s related? The tech was nice enough to send 4 replacement heads, but not of them are white. Anyone else seen white ink puddles like this? Install was 5 days ago, printed 4 inches since with no problem.
  15. Help with HP 700 latex

    I’m hoping someone with this printer can help me interpret this. I’m about to purchase the printer, but I noticed something alarming about three test prints I received. All passed the initial scratch test we do (we don’t want to laminate). On a random whim, I decided to test them again...
  16. Wanted Wanted: damaged dx6/dx7 heads

    Looking for any dx6 or dx7 heads that still print from some nozzles. Just need to test some ink and mods that might damage a new head. Anyone save their old heads??
  17. Carriage or Main board issues on SP300i?

    I'f got what looks like bad data on one head. If I swap the cables, the problem moves to the other head, so it's not BECAUSE of the head. Also replaced the heads completely. Main board has since (twice) been sent in to Mac Media for repairs. They say they replaced the D/A converters, and at...
  18. SP300i service manual?

    Just wondering if anyone can e-mail me this?
  19. Roland Store... shipping?

    Wondering if anyone has some insight... There's a local authorized dealer here in Canada... they seem to be listing Roland products for the exact same price as on the Roland store. But they don't charge shipping. So does that mean I can order through them, and avoid Roland Store's...
  20. Anyone here with R-Net access??

    I need a service manual for an LEC-330. Pretty rare unless you can download it. I'll pay VERY generously for the pdf. Please message me if you can help!
