  1. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    That's a really good idea and under normal circumstances I would do it in a heartbeat and it would solve all my problems. Unfortunately, this is being installed in a mental health area of a hospital where patients would likely pick at it and either remove it or remove it and try and use it in a...
  2. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    I tried black sintra with white underflood, but that doesn't work because not all my images have a black background. See test images below (1 with light background and 1 with black background). With the black sintra I now have insufficient white underflood on the bevelled edge. Same problem as...
  3. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    Not all the images are black background. There are (20) in all. I think I have a sheet of black sintra. I'll try that with white ink to see if I get better results and will report back. Thanks for your suggestion.
  4. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    I will need to look at each image. The first image is has a black background, but there are (20) images and some
  5. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    Unfortunately, zero vacuum in the print zone (normal vacuum input and curing) did not solve the problem. I am not looking for stellar print quality. Just the best I can possibly achieve without moving mountains. Pix: https://photos.app.goo.gl/kfcKKvQivgRwqr5B7
  6. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

  7. HP R1000 on 6mm bevelled Sintra

    Hi, Customer wants an image printed on 6mm sintra with a bevelled edge all sides and full bleed. We are cutting the Sintra on our CNC and then loading on our HP R1000 with -1/2" margins all sides. The ink appears on the bevelled edge, but seems like it could be denser and doesn't seem to be...
  8. Nesting software suggestions?

    If you want a cheap, easy to use program for optimization/nesting rectangles without the integration into your rip then I would recommend... Optimalon.com We have Caldera and my operator will often tell me how many boards a job will use (nesting) and if optimalon can beat Caldera then I have...

  10. Polishing the edges of acrylic

    I realize this is probably way more throughput than most people need, but good to know it exists. We have had several projects with 300+ pieces of 24x36 and much larger to polish. We didn't put a lot of effort into learning the flame polish method. Here's a link below...
  11. Harddrive problems on HP Scitex FB500

    We owned an FB550 for 3 years. At some point HP warranty accidentally sent us a HDD - part "L1Q41-67086". We have since sold the machine, but I still have the HDD. It is in the wrapper and never used. If you PM me I am sure we can work something out and I can Fed Ex out today.

    I am 418 miles away in Paterson. NJ. We have an old Seal roll-to-roll that I would love to get rid of. There might be a few nicks in the rollers, but it never caused us any problems. It has heat and there are motor that move the rollers together and apart. If interested reach out to me and I...
  14. WYLD GFI...minor flooding but back up and running.

    Sorry about the loss and aggravation. I have been traveling and just saw the post this morning. We are in Paterson, NJ and can offer our equipment during off hours (hp365 and fb550). Diversified Display's technicians perform all our troubleshooting and repairs. I would trust them to assist...
  15. HP FB550 - print alternate head cloth

    Need more cloths to wipe the print head for my HP FB550. The HP part number is CH239A for 150-pack or CH971-62487 for individual. Does anyone have experience with a non-HP brand of cloth that will do the job?
