Hi Anthony. My name is Ken Miller, I'm at Hollins Exposition Services in Roanoke, the number is 540-362-3940, ext 153. My email is kmiller@hollins-expo.com. I'd be glad to show the machine, and answer any questions, candidly. We originally ordered an Ion after ISA in April 2008, but I kept...

Sorry to be a bit late to the party, but I've not had time to get on any boards in months. We've had the Anapurna Mv since December 2008. It had a few teething pains, but nothing that was not fixed fairly quickly by service. Service was great. It has generally been trouble free, we did not get...

Hey Jeff My comments on a heavy coat of ink was not intended as a comment on cost of ink, but the tactile feel. I could actually feel a difference in the inked areas vs. actual board. As I said, we liked the color reproduction, it seemed like a great machine. However, $30K more in price was a...

We have an AGFA Mv, in service since Dec 2008. We don't do a lot of coro that needs to live long. However, late last spring, don't remember exactly when, printed a 3x8 sheet with our logo and address to put on the back fence. Our logo is primarily red, with some black. The sheet was installed...

I have a 1GB flash drive that acts similar, I move files from my Mac to the RIP station on it. On occasion, the PC will not recognize the drive. Usually what I have to do is take it back to the Mac and run disc utility on it, it finds no errors, but then I can take it back to the PC and it works.

Fuji The Acuity with white ink. It was about 160K if I recall correctly. It was nice, the samples were great, the reds vivid. However, it did seem to put down a fairly heavy coat of ink. I was also concerned about the usability, and maintenance of a white ink.

Anapurna Hey Daniel Based on our experience, now at 16 months on the Mv. I'd say certainly yes. Ours had a few minor teething pains, but all that was fixed, service was fast and knowledgeable. I'd be glad to show ours to anyone who is in the area, or comes to western Virginia. Based on what...

We bought the AGFA Mv one year ago and it is generally an excellent machine. We had some adhesion issues on the trim edges with coro (heavy ink coverage), but that that has been resolved with a better brand of coro, and running the lamps on full power. It is about 15-20 minutes for a 4 pass...

Shoot, forgot to add, we are using the AGFA Mv as well.

We ran into the static issue attempting to print on white plexi back in January. We developed something of a system to handle it, it involves a homemade grounding device, cleaning the material, and anti-static treatment as well. It seems to have helped considerably. I'll be glad to offer more...

We've had the Mv for a year in December, and like most new systems, have had a few issues, virtually anything has been well taken care of. I'll be glad to pass on a detailed commentary on my experiences if you will send me a private email. I do recommend the machine highly, and AGFA has used us...

I don't have Corel Draw, Illustrator only, but one other thing you might try, it has helped me, was the options on PDF, saving as a PDF X-3 with transparency flattening in place. There are similar issues in standard PDFs made in InDesign with a drop shadow effect, after a fair amount of...

Congratulations! I hope your training went well. We purchased an Mv and it arrived in December. It has done well, as with any new equipment it had a few minor glitches, but it seems to perform well, and I like it. I'd be interested in your opinion of the training, and your trainer. Best Ken

We received our Agfa Anapurna Mv in December. I believe that it is similar to the M4, if you would like to chat, feel free to pm me. Best Ken

We had our Anapurna Mv installed the second week of December, which was immediately followed by one of our largest jobs of the year, which carried us into mid January. Generally speaking, the AGFA has performed well, we have printed Sintra, gatorfoam, foamcore, coro as well as some carpet vinyl...

Actually, the Mv model which comes with the varnish and CMYK, Lc and Lm came in at $115K.

Thanks for the commentary, we actually got samples from our files on the Ion, and they were terrible, so we cancelled our order on it, even though we were only 30 days or so from delivery. We went to SIGA and looked closely at the Mimaki JF 1630, Fuji Acuity and the Agfa Anapurna Mv. After a lot...

Hi Everybody! I just recently joined and have been reading with great interest on the various equipment. Apologies in advance for the overlong post. We are a trade show decorator and do a fair amount of display materials, signs and all for trade shows. Mostly gatorfoam, coroplast and portable...

OK, so I missed introducing myself when I first joined, please forgive me. This looks to be a great resource site for questions, answers and opinions. I work at a trade show decorator in Western Virginia, so we are not a sign shop like many of you, but we do our fair share of work for shows...

KSC, if you will share, when did you place your order for the Ion? We ordered one on April 18, and with Gerber's lack of communication, I got an initial ship date of later August. Only through bugging our salesperson, did I get an updated ship date of later September, now, as of Friday, it is...
