Description of Carriage Designjet Plotter C7770 60014 42 Inch

The belt for the 24" printer is about 42" which can be confusing. Delores at LPS confirmed that you need to measure the Plotter or just google your model #.

Quality replacement belt

This belt is made from high quality materials and should last as long, if not longer than an OEM belt. Installation was very easy by following the instructions that came with the belt and watching a step by step LPS Computer video I found on YouTube (just search for an HP Designjet 500 belt replacement). I have no hesitation in recommending this product and all other quality products sold by LPS Computer.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Damaged

The printer needs to be calibrated after changing the belt.

Same situation as genuine HP belt replacement. After changing the belt, the printer needs to be calibrated. This only takes a few minutes and the process can be started from the printer's paper menu. Be sure to load a 36" roll or large sheet of paper (for the 42" model). Reload the printed template into the printer with dots - you need to rotate the printed sheet 90 degrees counterclockwise. In the paper menu, start scanning the calibrated printout. Once this is done you can print. The belt…

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Mostly OK, but...

Skeptical of generic parts.

Having been a specialist in 'old school' copiers and printers for over 40 years, I don't normally use spare parts. Since my regular sellers were out of stock and needed them quickly for one of my biggest customers, I took the risk. I got concerned when I saw that the entire belt has grooves that the OEM doesn't have, but they work great with the ungrooved pulley that comes with the belt. The real test, of course, is how long does this belt last? Perhaps the presence of grooves throughout the…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Good quality, poor fitting instructions

The belt itself was of good quality and fitted perfectly. The product arrived with no documentation, not even a link to the online manual. Reading previous reviews I knew it was a YouTube video and was able to find an uninstall and replace demo online. Take a look at the video. or twice to the end before attempting a replacement. You will find steps that the moderator takes and then repeats in other ways. I watched each step and then paused it to do the step myself, but after continuing the…

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never

Waste Ribbon Printer Ribbons, Rollers and Transfer Units

I bought this ribbon 4 months ago to replace a broken ribbon. In the time since the belt was replaced the printer has been used very infrequently and the belt has developed "bulges" or spots that are thicker than the others causing the carriage to rattle as the rib rides over the belt drive sprocket . There is a suspicion that I did not receive the LPS belt. Be careful buyer, I will order a new one directly on the LPS website.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

The teeth are all around but still work.

After reading the instructions and watching some videos I was able to get the belt to work with a Designjet 500PS+HPGL2 42" card. The difference between this belt and the OEM belts shown and discussed is that this belt has teeth all around. The OEM belt doesn't do this and is meant to be a way to true the machine. This belt with teeth all around the perimeter scared me at first and I almost returned it. As I had 2 belts I thought I had ordered them from different vendors as the prices were…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive

Fits great, works great.

Fits great, works great, got the plotter working after watching a YouTube video on installation. The quality of the belt probably isn't OEM level, but it's pretty decent and you can't beat the price. I still use this plotter for light work. I recommend if you don't consume very heavily and can't afford the cost of the original belt.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
