●Printhead X Calibration — the manual version of Auto Head X Calibration.

●Manual Jet Mapping — the manual version of AutoJet.

●Default Registration Data — sets all registration data to zero.

After calibration and jet mapping, perform a linearization or color calibration (as supported by the RIP). See Linearization on page 53.

NOTE: The manual BiDi and X head calibrations are time-consuming and can be error-prone, but is necessary when calibrating transparent media or other media that the printer’s digital image sensor cannot calibrate.

Media Feed Calibration

This calibration allows you to calibrate the accuracy of the media advance. Inaccurate media advance can result in blank spaces between print swaths (too much advance) or overlapping swaths (too little advance).

1.On the Manual Calibrations menu, press Media Feed.

2.Press the Yes button to proceed. The control panel displays the following options:

990 mm (39 in) calibration — sheet fed only, uses the printer's onboard image sensor for precise adjustments. If the media feed needs larger adjustments, use the ruler-measured calibrations first. Use for maximum accuracy.

510 mm (20 in) calibration — sheet fed only, uses the printer's onboard image sensor for precise adjustments. If the media feed needs larger adjustments, use the ruler-measured calibrations first. Use to conserve media.

900 mm (34 in) calibration — prints a 900 mm (34 in) test pattern so you can verify its length with an accurate metal ruler. Cut the pattern from the media web, then measure and adjust the media advance as needed until the pattern is exactly 900 mm (34 in) long.

250 mm (10 in) calibration — prints a 250 mm (10 in) test pattern so you can verify its length with an accurate metal ruler. This is not as precise as the 900 mm (34 in) calibration, but it uses less media. Measure and adjust the media advance as needed until the pattern is exactly 250 mm (10 in) long.

The image-sensor based calibration (sheet-fed media only) prints a reference pattern, ejects the media, and prompts you to rotate and reload the media so the pattern can be measured. To account for the slight variability in the media feed mechanism, repeat these calibrations three to five times to obtain the best calibration. The software allows you to position the patterns anywhere on the sheet so you can print multiple iterations on the same sheet.

Input MFN — enter the Media Feed Number that was displayed after a previous media feed calibration, to return to that setting without performing the calibration again.

Scitex FB700 Industrial specifications

The HP Scitex FB700 is an industrial flatbed printer designed to meet the rigorous demands of high-quality large-format printing. Launched by HP, this printer offers businesses incredible versatility, speed, and precision, making it an essential tool for print service providers looking to enhance their productivity and expand their service offerings.

One of the standout features of the HP Scitex FB700 is its print quality. Equipped with HP's proprietary UV inks, the printer delivers vibrant colors, sharp images, and excellent durability. These inks are designed for a wide range of substrates, making it possible to print on materials such as rigid boards, flexible media, and even specialty applications like textiles. 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.
