  1. Scitex FB950 supplies

    Can anyone recommend a good source for FB950 parts/supplies? I'm needing some wipers, filters, etc. Most of us in the shop would prefer not dealing with HP if we can avoid it.
  2. HP FB950 Lamp housing wear

    Wondering if anybody else has seen this. I've been getting intermittent shutter errors out of the lamps. Service side happened once, user side has happened several times. After it tripped an error and stopped last night while running some banners unattended, decided it was time to swap out the...
  3. Avalanche rear window

    I just heard that the 2nd window graphic we installed on a major client's rear window is again starting to peel. Material is Classic Vue window perf and installed on the removable rear window of a Chevy Avalanche. I don't remember what the laminate was. I can't recall ever having trouble with...
  4. Zund question

    We pulled the trigger on a G3 last week, looking to have it installed mid December. We're doing some building modifications to accommodate it and we may have hit a snag. Those of you that have one, how tall is your machine? We are getting the routing option which I think makes a difference. I...
  5. Ink dropout

    We've got a service call placed but I wanted to see if anybody here has also come across this issue. This is the second time we've seen this with our FB950, luckily this time it was attended to. Ran a prime bar immediately following the cancelled print and had absolutely nothing from black...
  6. FB950 paper skew

    I've got a large order for 102" signs that we are running on Sihl 3333 paper. Now the 950 usually walks a little on roll feed media but this stuff can barely make it through a couple prints before it's climbing off the edge. The print is 35" wide, we had to go to the 42" paper size and it's...
  7. HP Scitex FB950 Lamp error

    I keep getting the error code A-UV-4, "UV Lamps not parked at user or service end", mostly during N-up sheet runs. It will go to measure the new batch of media and the lamps will shut down. Most often it will stop measuring the media too and say it couldn't find the edge of a sheet. I've got an...
  8. FB950 lamps

    Just changed my first set of lamps on our 950 and am curious what kind of life expectancy other users are getting. Mine were at 369 hours when I had to change them due to a "no voltage detected" error on the service side lamp. On our 98UVX, we were changing lamps about every 300 hours when they...
  9. HP Scitex FB700

    I'm curious about the opinions on this machine. We are seriously looking at the FB950. Just saw some samples today from a 950 and obviously blows our 98UVX out of the water. My understanding is that to utilize the white ink option, you lose the Lc and Lm. Seems rather dumb to me. What really...
  10. Hey from Illinois

    Run the large format machines and occasional offset for a smallish franchise in central Illinois. This is my first journey into wide format printing, been at it for about 3 years. Before that I worked for a medium run offset printer. Proud user of an HP Designjet z6100 and an unfortunate user of...
