Introduction This handbook contains a collection of techniques and recommendations for achieving best output using the Straight-Through Paper Path (STPP) for rigid applications and the roll-to-roll web for flexible applications on the HP Scitex FB950 printer. These instructions provide you with a general knowledge of media handling, its characteristics and specific normal operation procedures. Your prerequisite operation experience is recognized and it is not considered necessary to discu

Flexible Media Printing with flexible material is possible with the optional Supply & Takeup Support System. Flexible material should be tightly and evenly spooled onto 3-inch (7.62 cm) cores that do not exceed 98.5 inches (2.5 m) in width. The maximum diameter for the roll of media is 7.5 inches (19 cm). For details on loading and printing on flexible media, please consult the HP Scitex FB950 User Manual, Load and Print on Roll-Fed Media, p. 24. The User Manual may be downloaded for futu

Rigid Media One advantage of flatbed printers over platen printers is that the media drive system provides for a more consistent advance rate. With the belt-fed system there is little need to perform media feed calibrations when switching between media types or sizes. Printers that utilize a pinch roller/grit roller drive mechanism are more sensitive to changes in size or weight, so media feed calibrations are required when switching between media types. Some media may be used only up t

Glass Considerations • • • • Light reflectivity and refractivity will directly impact printhead jetting health. UV ink, even while jetting, will begin to cure in the printhead orifice plate if exposed to stray UV light. • • • • Adjusting the UV Shutter Aperture may help to reduce the amount of errant UV light that is projected to the printheads. Individual results may vary by reflectivity, refractivity, head height above the media, opacity, and UV treatment of the glass, so experimentati
