hello all, we have a HP FB550 and had all these problems with the bad batch ink. Now we have a 3rd party ink in the machine. Everything looked good, but currently we have missing nozzles on one magenta print head. We have flushed the system and refilled with ink. The first nozzle test was OK...

Hello. New here. I have an HP FB750 and I am getting this error: A-UV-32 UV User-end shutter error. User-end shutter failed to move. Note: I got it few times and I would clear it and could go on and print. Now it happens immediately and I can't print. I have unplugged, let sit, then restart...

Hello. New here. Have had the HP FB750 for a couple months now and are up and into production and have a question. Every morning with the first print the carriage leaves ink dust on the media the same distance back from the leading edge. I am assuming it does this when it measures the...

Good Morning, Having an issue with my FB500. Black and magenta seem to fog out or overspray really bad. I will attach a picture. If I run out a ton of ink it seems to be good. Yesterday I printed a 4x8 sheet of black and it was pretty good after that. Then I let it sit overnight and we...

I can't figure out how to print my design in the center of the substrate. I tried setting it to center, left and right justified in onyx rip but Everytime I print it it comes out right justified, I don't have any margins on either.

When printing grays or yellow gold I have magenta streaks showing. Most of my print heads are OK. Light magenta heads are bad but haven't been a problem. I'll post a few pictures. I already tried BiDi and head to head calibrations and also media feed calibrations.

Hello Everyone. Just wondering if anyone out there with a Scitec HP FB500 or FB750 has any type of Surge protection or Battery Back up for the Main Power (Not the ink pumps) set up? Does HP recommend this and if so what should I be looking for and what is available out there? The back story to...

We have a FB500 and a F550 Scitex printer. We run FB794 ink in the 550 and FB250 ink in the 500. I am told the 250 is interchangeable with either printer, but the 794 ink is not. I can find nothing on HP, or anywhere else showing the differences on these two inks. Does anyone have any...

Hi everybody, Thanks for being part of this forum, this is my first post. We want to sell of the white option in our fb500 as we dont use it. Does anybody know if you can transfer a white option from one fb500 to another? thanks

When they installed our FB500, one of the techs mentioned that there was a way to adjust the intensity of the UV lamps, but I can't seem to find any method in the manuals. Does anyone know how to do this?

Good Morning All, I have had an HP FB500 Scitex printer for about 8 months now. It has been a workhorse for me. The only complaint that I have received thus far is when it comes to double sided printing on Corrugated Plastic. My customers (real estate agents) get their signs printed double...

Hi Everyone, I been searching the web for while to find answer on this question. But I can't seem to find any answer to this question. How do I increase the number of passes on HP FB500? Is it just change the DPI, i.e. changing from 600X300 to 600? Also we use Onyx Postershop 11 for ripping...

First post, hello everyone! I'm about to purchase an FB500 to break into flatbed printing and need a good tech in the Memphis area that works on this particular machine. Any recommendations? *Please note I'm currently unfamiliar with flatbed printing so keep jargon at level 1.*

I have searched around a bit, and short of calling a dealer haven't found the answer. Do you guys know if when the fb500 prints to a rigid sheet it requires a "tail" to finish printing? thanks
