Running 8' mesh banner material, and I cannot get it loaded without serious walking. I think the foam covered bars might be worn and uneven. I was wondering if anyone has tried running without the wrap-over bar. Just going directly from the supply bar to the bed with only the weighted bar on...

I am fairly new to using Summa GoProduce with our Summa 1612 cutter flatbed. My question is this, when I import the .pdf file into GP, it takes my dashed lines and makes them continuous. My dashed are lines are used for creasing/fold points graphics edges in weird angles and curves. I checked...

The lm printhead on our HP FB750 printer has shot an error message for several months now, saying that the "printhead warmer is too warm" or "printhead warmer failed." I knew this would eventually lead to total printhead failure, and now since we're at that point.. does anyone have any advice...

We took delivery of our HP FB550 two years ago. We do a test print every morning and several heads require multiple purges to get back to an acceptable level. This is happening more and more recently. I am wondering if this is related to the temperature in the room where the printer is. We...

Hello everyone, we are just doing some casual shopping around for new UV Ink supplier. We have no issues with our current supplier, just looking around. I found a site called Nazdar and they have inks, they are not named like "96 Series" but I do believe they run in our machine. I was wondering...

So we just purchased a CET flatbed printer and we have ran corrugated on it no problem all day. Well today I had a customer who wanted a map on foam board, I decided to give it a go and no matter what I do the print head strikes the edge of the board, usually right a the end of the print. I...

Hello everyone, my shop is interested in purchasing a flatbed and we got recommended Vanguard. I am just curious if those are quality machines, and which model would work best for us. We are a medium volume company, we do a lot of foam core signs and corplast signs and Di-bond. We have just...

Technician came to level my printbed. We'd removed the magnetic table top and he spent the better part of a day tweaking the table and measuring with a dial indicator. I went to print the next day and had two adjacent nozzles out on black that cannot be cleared. Technician came and then found...
