I'm using SolidWorks to print our drawings. The drawing views are exported to create the .dxf that drives the router that cuts our sheet metal, so they really should be the same size. I could create a drawing, export to the router, and then modify the drawing, but I'm afraid that would be a...

We use an iPF9400S to print inspection mylars for sheet metal parts. We have good luck with it over the last year, but we're finding that it's not producing prints of accurate length. It's not really noticeable for shorter prints, but last week I printed a sheet for a piece that is produced with...

We needed a 60 in printer for some of the sheet metal part inspection mylars we print. The previous engineering company used an HP Z6100, but it would print about .030 short every 10 in. We replaced it with a Canon iPF9400S last year. It's better, but we're finding that there's still some error...

That was one of the first things I checked a few months ago. I'll see if we still have a service contract on this and will update if anything new comes up.

After switching to the 60" Backlit Film mentioned above, things seemed to be going well until a few days ago, when I printed a drawing that ended up being about half an inch too short. I thought that, perhaps, there was a problem in the way I was converting a file from one CAD package to...

It seems as though I was unintentionally misled at the onset. I was operating under the belief that the correct media profile was selected, but it was not even loaded in the printer from the factory. A quick trip to the HP site to download it and things are much better now. My new problem is...

I recently joined an aerospace company as an engineer, and one of my first tasks is to learn the ins and outs of our HP Z6100 printer, which we'd like to use to print 1:1 drawings on matte translucent film. Right now, we've got a roll of satin paper in while we try to figure some things out...
