    I've been getting this error lately on my FB700:: 'No Service Station Current Detected' error code: W-SS-5 I have been able to troubleshoot my way around most things on this machine but I don't even know where to start with this one. Its still printing and has not effected the quality but I'm...
  2. finishing for printed "street" signs

    I'm printing on metal street signs on a flatbed and am trying to make the final product more permanent. I'm using adhesion promoter before printing so the ink sticks good but I'm still not confident in its durability. We have pressure sensitive lam that works great for other stuff but on metal...
  3. uv curing (without printing) on fb700

    I'm trying to find a way to run stuff through my fb700 and just have the UV lamps run without printing. I've had a couple times I have wanted to do this but never really pursued it. This time around we are trying to find a solution to laminate rigid media and there seems to be "UV Curable"...
  4. HELP! I'm Pulling my hair out trying to fix this overspray issue on my FB700

    As you can hopefully see from the image, there is an over spray in one direction and not the other. This image is flipped 90 degrees so the spray is horizontally not vertically. Ive done everything I can think of to fix it. manual calibrations of bidi, Head-head, jet map. I even wiped the...
  5. any tricks for getting UV ink off my belt?

    I print a lot of full bleed boards on my Scitex FB700 and there is a lot of buildup in certain areas to the point where you can see the bumps through roll media.

  6. Looking to expand our Horizons, any ideas?

    Hello all :-) I've been on this site for almost a year now as I was recommended it from a tech but haven't used it a whole lot so I guess I would still consider myself "new" to the site. We are a print production facility in SoCal that has been around for a while but has primarily been...
  7. Banding issues (Media profile related?)

    I've been having issues with banding on my Scitex FB700. Being under warrantee, HP continued to send a tech out to replace parts to troubleshoot the problem over the last few weeks. He's now been here several times and has replaced every moving part in the machine (motors, wheels, bearings...
  8. Printing on FB700, customer is asking for VERY specific accuracy across a 200" print.

    I have a customer that needs a bw overlay for a solar panel that is 200" long and needs the print to stay with .002" throughout the print. We generally print graphics on this machine so this type of print/specification is a little out of our element. I would like to think that on Max DPI mode...
  9. On FB 700 How do you get the ink coverage to cover the depth of a beveled substrate?

    I keep seeing these youtube videos where people are using the machine I work with daily (scitex FB 700) and printing on doors that have beveled centers that are a good 1/2" lower than the head height must be to clear the material. Having done this with stuff like guitar heads, it starts to...
  10. Loading rolls by meyself becoming an issue, looking for inexpensive solution

    We have an old HP DesignjetL26500 and a new HP SCitex Fb700 and when loading new rolls I always imagine dropping them and either breaking something on the spindle or myself. This is a legitimate worry as someone that used to work here completely shattered her big toe while loading the the 26500...
  11. issues with thin polystyren on the FB700

    Recently (6mo) got a Scitex FB700 and am loving it and have been able to troubleshoot most issues but have been having an ongoing battle with thin polystyrene. We had an old laminator that we were trying to faze out which I thought would never work but our sales team has basically eliminated...
  12. ink usage in different print modes on the FB700

    We have been printing in photo mode since we got the printer and were under the impression that we were printing that we were printing in indoor sign mode. I understand that this controlled through the rip but since I do not rip the files to the printer(our designers do) so it seemed like you...
