HP FB750 min sheet size

[PrintItBig]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the minimum panel size that can be printed on this machine is please? I can't seem to find it in the literature.

Thanks.

We have done as small as 8x10 but you have to trick the machine to do it accurately

OK thanks.

Do you know what the official minimum size that HP state is? Or know where I can find it?

Also, how do I trick the machine to do an 8 x 10?

Thanks.

I've seen jigs tho routed out of 1/4 pvc for stuff like that. if you are going to so something tiny though, be mindful of rollers. sometimes the roller can land on the front of media like that and pop up the back side as its crossing into the print area.

I don't think there is a published minimum size.

There are various was to trick it, but manual override and setting all the measurements is easiest

You can do as small as you want. At least on the FB500... I just tell it its bigger than it is, and when it says it cant find media / are you sure its there, you click yes.

You may have to manually tell it it's thickness... For that you can do it manually, or load a thicker sheet and just hit use the same thickness.

The quality isn't always as good though. 1/10 of the signs I printed was pretty blurry, I'm presuming because it's not long enough to touch the roller, so the advance speed isn't as accurate. We've only done it a few times though... Much better to print on a bigger sheet and cut down if possible. That, or make a jig and use the jig.

The manual says 8.5 long.
