We replaced our Colorspan 72UVX last year, and ever since then it has just sat in my printing department sucking energy and taking up space. We'd like to get it out of here, but haven't had any luck trying to sell it (it is not operational and the ink is discontinued). Is there a preferred way...

I've been looking at and considering SignVox for a long time, and I'm still researching possible new software for the business (pulling the trigger on SignVox is a hard sell because there is no trial). One of my latest realizations is that some of our most desired features are very...

I have an on-going issue with one red color on my HP Scitex FB700. The color in question is a Pantone color: 187C. The issue primarily stems from the fact that we just upgraded to the Scitex this year. For the last 8 years, we were printing most projects on a Colorspan 72UVX and a Mimaki JV3...

Recently, one of my artists has been expressing concerns about exposure to the ink we use in both of our printers after researching about them online. I have MSDS sheets for all of the inks, and they label all of them as "danger" and make them sound pretty scary. Having read the MSDS sheets...

We purchased an HP Scitex FB700 earlier this year with the white ink upgrade. The white ink is something we were (and still are) very excited about, and we've used it most of the time without any issues. I'm able to print gorgeous displays on clear acrylic and add solid white graphics to colored...

We have had an Graphtec FC4100-100 for over 8 years. In all the time I have worked with it, I have rarely encountered any problems that could not be easily solved, but last week a new problem appeared and we have been unable to fix it. The plotter no longer cuts anything correctly. It does not...

I've been exploring my options for a new flatbed printer the last couple of weeks. At this point, I've narrowed it down to the HP FB500/700 and Mimaki's offerings. This is in part due to my previous experience dealing with HP and Mimaki. The information in another thread...

We have a Colorspan 72UVX. It's just over 7 years old, and we've had a lot of problems, but it still runs and puts out acceptable print quality. It's the only flatbed printer we have, and the vast majority of our work goes through it. Now we've been told that HP is going to discontinue the...

I have an unusual issue with black ink on our Colorspan 72UVX. It appears that black ink is leaking into the carriage, but I'm not sure what is causing it or how I can fix the problem. A couple months ago, in the middle of a print, our Colorspan 72UVX quit putting out black ink. We printed...

I have been using a Colorspan 72UVX to print directly to corrugated plastic for the past six years without many problems. Corrugated plastic has been the one non-roll material that I can print on consistently without trouble, but now I've run into an interesting problem (that fortunately does...

This is a problem we've been having for as long as I can remember, and we've always found a work around to fix it eventually, but I figured I'd check and see if anyone knew the cause. Sometimes, randomly, when a raster image is sent to our JV3, the print will come out fine except for streaks...

We have been having problems with our Colorspan 72UVX for over a week now. The problem began with the lower trolley plate bearing going out. We have since replaced the bearing, and the carriage can be moved much more smoothly than before with the new bearing in place. However, I still cannot...
