  1. Vertical “banding” FB700

    Hey All, I am at my wits end here so finally going to post and see if anyone has input. We are getting strange vertical lines in our prints with FB700. I have tried everything possible to remedy. Cleaned carriage rail, cleaned encoder, printed prime bars and jet tests (all look clean)...
  2. UV LED Curing (non-textile)

    Anyone have experience using UV LED screen printing inks/curing units for nameplates, overlays, decals, and signs? We are looking at possibly updating a curing unit and can't seem to find a ton about people using them or the inks. I know it's been big in digital in recent years but haven't...
  3. Adhering Tile to Acrylic

    I have a customer/friend who bought a piece of acrylic from me the other day for a home project. He wants to adhere onyx tile to the acrylic and edge light it. He asked me to suggest a clear adhesive he can use to glue the tile to the acrylic. I know acrylic doesn't like silicone which is...
  4. Looking for wholesale traffic signs

    I am looking for a wholesale supplier of traffic signs. I know there are a million people out there who sell them but I am looking for someone who is wholesale to the trade. We do a lot of our work in house but you get those random requests for the 36" stop sign or some random yellow...
  5. Looking For Graphics Installer, Dallas

    I have a customer who needs a frosted logo applied to their glass front door. Super simple and straight forward. It’s an intricate logo and the customer thought hey could install themselves but can’t figure out how to get the graphic to stay on to the pre-mask bc there is so much detail ...
  6. Epson S60600 Ink Durability

    We are in the process of choosing between the Epson S606000 and an HP Latex 365. I have read all the threads and done all my research so we don't need to get into the argument over which one is better. My specific question is about the durability of unlaminated prints. I have seen some...
  7. FB 700 automatic head maintenance frequency

    We have had our used FB700 set up for over a month now, still getting to know the machine. Seems to run the "automatic maintenance" purge and wipe every 30 minutes or so, 24/7. Is that normal for this machine? We do have the white ink setup. Is there somewhere I can change that setting? I...
  8. Can I Laminate UV Inkjet Direct Printed Aluminum?

    Anyone have experience with laminating UV inkjet direct printed aluminum signs? We got a contract to make a ton of .080 alum signs for outdoor environments. They need to have some kind of coating/lamination to keep them looking nice for longer than a year or two. I was going to originally...
  9. Looking for advice on how to set up "tiled" print files

    We have a 12'x16' file that we are looking to tile into 4'x8' sections so we can make one big sign out of 4'x8' MDO panels. We have a new artist who doesn't have a ton of experience and I only know the basics of design and layout. Can anyone lend us advice on the best way to set up each...
  10. Anyone have experience with Nazdar 705 series inks?

    We are bringing in a used HP Scitex FB700 and as I was researching my ink options I came across the Nazdar 705 Series. Does anyone have experience with this ink? We usually don't use off brand inks but since this machine is used I was tossing around the idea. Any feedback is appreciated.
  11. Looking for input on Gerber M3000 Turbo

    I am interested in purchasing a used (2010) Gerber M3000 Turbo to work with an HP Scitex FB700. We currently sub out all of our flatbed printing and cutting and we just scored a new contract that will justify us purchasing our own equipment. I have done a ton of research on the used equipment...

    I am looking to purchase a used HP Scitex FB700 which is located in Maryland. I am located in Ohio. I would like a third party to inspect the machine for me prior to purchase but HP is telling me that since I am not the owner of the machine, I can't schedule an HP tech to do the inspection...
