Hi,
How do carriage belt replacements compare between the Designjet t610 and the designjet 500.
I have done a few 500's but not a t610.
Thanks.

they are pretty much the same engine. not much difference on taking the whole plotter appart.

yes indeed the first time it takes a while but then it gets easier.
my first took about three hours after that i was able to replace the belt under an hour.

3 hours for me,had an "oh f**k" moment,very nearly pinched the outer line on the trailing cable.Praying to the Gods when switching it back on,all good though,happy days..
