I'll second the comments of doing this on a laser printer with Avery labels, good run quality, no jams on our printer. I do this same type thing 2-3 times a year. I'd previously run them on vinyl through the Agfa Anapurna, then hand cut them down. Most certainly not worth the effort for...

While not downing Corel Draw, I've seen amazing stuff done with it, I vote for Illustrator and Photoshop. I grew up on Illustrator, back to having prerelease versions of it in the 1980s, when I got Corel and tried to learn it, it seemed very clunky to me and not as well thought out. The other...

I don't know specifically what it takes, but I purchased some replacement printheads for our Agfa Anapurna from www.digiprint-supplies.com. They can answer questions via a message board. Don't be put off by it being in Brussels. I finally figured out what I needed late on Friday afternoon...

I'd agree with Particleman, try to find someone with AGFA tech who is knowledgeable. We had adhesion problems with the Mv on coro, particularly with heavy coverage. But that was dramatically helped by using Enteplast coro, fresh stock, and lamps on high with a fan to cool the coro from the...

First these were second party bulbs. This was our second set from the same vendor, the first worked without issue, lasted as long or longer than the factory bulbs. We use a liter of ink about every 6-8 months, depending on what I have to print, so you can see that it is not high volume...

Interestingly enough, I was having problems with curing on my Anapurna as well beginning a year ago last spring. Replaced the bulbs, virtually no change. I had previously been able to run the lamps at half power on everything except coro. Now they have to run on high for everything. Since my...

Hi Andy Our sales person was through Advantage, the contact I had through Agfa was transferred to some other division, and nobody was ever given to me afterward as a point of contact. I barely go through a set of ink in 6 months, we really do not put out the volume that many shops do. We are...

I may be comparing apples to oranges here, but we bought a Anapurna Mv back in late 2008. It was an early model and had (and still does) a problem with a "wait data" error. It is nothing to make it repeatable, but once it happens, whatever you are printing is pretty much toast. We had a service...

Just a follow up on my post. The suggestion of gasoline line was spot on. 1/4 inch gas line, 24 inches, $6.00 US. Worked like an absolute charm. Interesting, I also considered the talcum powder as well, but this was cheaper and actually quicker! Best Ken

Thanks Fred, I did contact him via email. He was quite responsive. This indeed is the rubber roller on the bail, not the main drum. So, he suggested replacing it with gasoline tubing, so that is the plan for the afternoon. I see no reason that should not work, this is not critical to pressure...

Indeed, will have to get a part number and find one. It is the bail with the curved pieces that clamp down over the vinyl. Not the main roller. This is a hopeless situation. Naturally, have something that has to go out today! Isn't that always the case? Best Ken

The roller seems to be solid, but some pieces have flaked off. I tried cleaning with simple green, no luck with that. The idea of replacing it with some tubing is an interesting idea. I'll report back. Thanks Ken

Forgive me if I don't describe this correctly. It appears that sometime over the past week or so, that my boss came in and did not like the way the small rubber roller that clamps the sprockets down looked, and cleaned it with denatured alcohol. This cutter is used a couple of times a month, at...

I'm so sorry for your loss Fred. But it looks like you've found another creature to fill that big hole in your hearts and life. Pets are with us such a short time, and it hurts so badly to lose them. My present dog, a basset named Bosley is a rescue, his owner surrendered him at age 2, he is now...

As someone posted a bit earlier, anyone with a credit card can buy a computer, some fonts, and Illustrator or CorelDraw. I frequently say, "they have a computer, fonts and software, therefore, they must be a designer." I cannot tell you how many files I get from folks that are supposed to be...

If you are using Quickbooks, there is a menu option of "email invoice" This is what I use all the time. Fast, simple and quick. But I agree otherwise, make the PDF in your program rather than scan. Best Ken

With our Agfa, it shows every finger mark or touch on coro, even wiping with the Iso shows marks where the paper towel had touched. I took to taking a clean lint free cloth, and spraying the back side of the cloth with a carpet static called Shock Free, which was gotten at a hardware store and...

I'll second (or third) the mention of the masked Palite. It is the same price as what I had been using. The only issue that I've had would be the removing of the mask creating some static issues, but those would be minor compared to the fingerprints and such. I still would handle with cotton...

While I have no direct experience to help on a Oce. This happens from time to time on my 6 year old Agfa Anapurna. Head or heads will totally stop firing, they will purge fine, but will not fire on a test. I thought maybe it was a static issue, but I'm now more convinced that it is electrical or...

Another idea to try is to open it in Acrobat, it will run through Distiller, and save it back as full PDF or EPS, and Illustrator might open that. Of course, save it as a different name to avoid damage to your original file. Ken Miller
