    Just started a new position at an image360. They have a Scitex FB700 that I haven't had to best luck with quality on. Styrene .40 is the most i'm having trouble with, even foam core. The photo plus along with fine text gets me a pretty good print but it's almost stupid to do that when printing vinyl and mounting it takes half the time than to print it. What does everyone use this printer for mostly? They are looking to get a router but I haven't even been able to print full sheets without getting head strikes. This problem is mostly because of the ink build up on the belt (the belt is supposed to be green but it's all black right now). Any help or suggestions that have experience with this printer?

    Definitely need to get the ink off the belt. I would soak the belt with isopropyl alcohol and cover with mask or shrink wrap. .040 styrene is tough enough to print.

    This will work for sure...alcohol, simple green will not.
    Buy 3-4 of these and scrub

    I would be hesitant to put any thing other than a little soapy water on the belt. I have the best luck cleaning with scraps of high tac vinyl, and a plastic razor blade for the really built up areas. Lay the vinyl scraps it on the belt and it pulls up the ink - it's time consuming, but worth it when you're doing a large run hand you have to keep re-setting things up because the alignment bar keeps hitting something (ink).

    we use 2 options for cleaning the belt. We first use vinyl sticker rest, just put some one the place is where the ink is on the belt. rub it and remove, after that we use alcohol. Sorry if my english is bad but i will add a picture about what i mean
