Special features

Printheads

Printheads — variable drop size, piezoelectric printheads.

Ink system

Off-Head System (OHS) — bulk ink boxes with integrated filters. No-drip quick connectors simplify ink box replacement.

Onboard vacuum system — provides vacuum to maintain negative printhead pressure.

Patent-pending automated printhead service station — fully maintains the health of the printheads while idle or in service, without operator intervention.

HP White Ink Homogenizer — part of the optional white ink upgrade accessory kit, keeps white pigments dispersed for optimal print quality. The white ink upgrade option and white ink cartridge are required to print with white ink. See Order accessories on page 55 and Order ink supplies on page 20 for ordering information.

Media handling

Automatic head height — printer automatically sets the correct head height above the height of sheet-fed media.

Automatic media width sensing — automatically detects the width and position of sheet-fed media, for precise image placement (for white or light-colored media that the printer can detect).

Built-in static charge abatement — ionizer bars help dissipate static electric charge from synthetic media.

Rigid media tables feature a flip-up top for space-saving storage.

Optional extension tables can be added to the ends of the standard tables to handle longer sheets of media. See Order accessories on page 55 for ordering information.

Optional roll-fed media supply and takeup system is available to handle roll-fed media. See Order accessories on page 55 for ordering information.

Calibration

The printer uses a high-resolution digital imaging sensor (camera) and embedded software to align the printheads, and detect and replace missing jets. Manual and automatic calibrations are available.

AutoSet calibration — automatically aligns printheads bidirectionally for precise positioning of inkjet pixels, and runs AutoJet.

AutoJet calibration— compensates for most lost or misfiring jets by locating them and using substitute jets without slowing printing speed.

The FB700 supports a maximum print resolution of 1200 dpi, ensuring that every detail is faithfully rendered.

A key technology in the FB700 is its UV curing capability. This technology allows the printer to cure the inks almost instantly as they are applied, which not only speeds up the printing process but also enables printing on heat-sensitive materials. The ability to quickly switch between different substrates, from foam board to acrylic, offers unparalleled flexibility for businesses looking to meet diverse client needs.

Moreover, the HP Scitex FB700 features a user-friendly interface, enhanced by HP’s smart technology. This includes automated calibration and quality control systems that help maintain consistent print quality while reducing the likelihood of errors. The printer is also designed with ease of maintenance in mind, allowing operators to focus on production rather than troubleshooting.

In terms of productivity, the FB700 excels with a high throughput rate. Capable of producing prints up to 95 m² per hour, this printer is suited for high-volume jobs, enabling businesses to take on larger projects without sacrificing quality. Its robust design ensures reliability and efficiency, making it ideal for busy print environments.

Lastly, sustainability is an important consideration within the printing industry, and the HP Scitex FB700 addresses this concern by utilizing low-VOC inks and energy-efficient components. This commitment to eco-friendliness allows companies to meet their sustainability goals while maintaining a competitive edge in the market.

In summary, the HP Scitex FB700 Industrial printer is a powerful tool that combines high performance, versatility, and ease of use. With its advanced printing technologies, exceptional print quality, and commitment to sustainability, it is well-equipped to handle the diverse demands of modern printing applications.
