  1. Need Help HP FB500 Printhead X Calibration Issue

    Recently we replaced the motherboard and switched out a failed hard drive in our HP FB500. After firing the printer up we noticed the heads were way out of calibration. After some research we attempted to perform the manual X calibrations (see attached photos) and found that we could get the...
  2. HP FB750 UV Shutter Error

    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...
  3. HP FB550 - Cold Weather problems? Solutions?

    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...
  4. Need Help Printing dark graphic banner shows off-color banding

    Hello, I have noticed off-color banding when printing black on vinyl banners. It looks like this only happens on the edge of the graphic of an 8' print on our 98" wide HP FB750 printer and when printing a black background. Printer: HP FB750 Media: Frontlit Banner Print Resolution: Indoor...
  5. clogged jets

    Hello everyone! I have been having issues with clogged jets on my HP FB750. Too many clogged jets cause banding in my prints. Are there any tricks or better ways to unclog the jets? I have done numerous Jet recovery patterns (which has helped a little but not enough). Also done multiple...
  6. Discussion HP FB750 Printer cost per square foot?

    Hello, my company recently purchased the HP FB750 and want to know how we can estimate the average ink cost to run a job by sq ft. Any other additional costs you use to estimate how much it costs to run a job?
  7. Need Help Edge to edge printing on a HP FB750

    Hello, I am trying to print edge to edge on a HP FB750. I make the graphic larger than the actual graphic but when I try to set negative margins, the printer will crop my graphic to the scanned dimensions. How do I setup and print the graphic so it physically prints off of the ridge panel so I...
  8. Need Help Direct Printing on Corrugated Cardboard not printing the full image

    Hello, I am trying to do an edge to edge print using a HP FB750 onto a Corrugated Cardboard box that I have flattened. I loaded the media into the printer, set the depth and have made my graphic print the full box but for some reason the print stops halfway through at 24" but the graphic depth...
  9. 3rd Party Inks (STS)

    I recently visited the SGIA show in Las Vegas and came across the STS Inks booth. If we switched from our HP OEM inks to the STS inks, we will save almost 50% in our ink costs. I have read a few posts regarding print head failures and warranty info. Does anyone use STS inks on their HP...
  10. HP FB750 Heavier coat of ink

    We're running on some plexi, and I was wondering if there is a way to run a heavier or double coat of ink on the HP FB750.
  11. Trouble with Overprint on the FB750

    We recently purchased an HP FB750, and we had no issues with edge printing when the installer was here, but I may be doing something wrong. It appears that the image is getting cut off where the media ends instead of overprinting on the belt. The margin shift laces the left and leading edge...
  12. Question Is it ok to laminate after printing on my fb750?

    Hello, We just purchased a new HP FB750. We mainly print real estate signs so this machine seemed to be the best choice for us right now. Our current workflow is to print one side of the sign, then laminate on our Seal Laminator, then print the other side of the sign, then laminate. This...
  13. Avoiding Full Bleed Printing on FB750 Belt

    I've found a few threads on how to clean the belts on the HP flatbeds, but does anybody have tricks to avoiding having to clean the bed at all when doing full bleed prints? We do a TON of full bleed boards and putting tape on the bed to catch the bleed from the sides of the boards works well...
