Overview; Replacing The Pip; Removing The Old Pip - HP Indigo press 3050 User Manual

Overview

Images are written on the photo-conductive imaging plate (PIP). Images are erased from
the PIP with each revolution. To work efficiently, the PIP must be capable of charging and
discharging continuously and to support sharp image definition. To prolong the PIP's
longevity, handle it with care, keep it as clean as possible, and protect it from direct light.
Take special care when opening the input door. Always make sure that the lights in the
