    DesignJet 755CM 36-in Belt

    Does anyone know a place where I can get a new belt for this dinosaur? I'm weary of Amazon and eBay. My supplier only has refurbished ones.

    Thanks

    I get mine from ebay and amazon. To be honest, I've stopped buying OEM belts, when I got 2 OEM belts for the 500 that caused problems. They weren't stiff enough to stay in place where they clipped into the carriage unit. I actually had to glue them into place. I dread the day I have to go back and replace those belts... but hopefully, the machines will be out of commission before I have to do that.

    I started using cheap aftermarket belts something like 2 years ago... I have yet to be called back to one. I guess the OEMS are supposed to last something like 10 years, I don't know. But to me, if it lasts 2 or 3, I'm happy. Especially when the OEM belts aren't working when I install them.

    But the aftermarket belts are admittedly tight. I don't think I've tried the ones for the 755.

      Alright. Took a chance on Amazon. We'll see. Thanks for the recommendation.

        LPS Computer makes belts. Designjet Store

        They're virtually identical to the original HP belts. I've used dozens+ of their belts on various printers without issue.
