AmerGraph - FYI

[Ron Pierson]

I hope I'm not speaking out of turn here. I have been trying to get bulbs for my Amergraph Advantage 150 imageburnner for a few days. I finally got through today and got 3 ordered. My supplier Dynamic Supply (good company) has been trying as well. It seems that they have gone out of business (or at least been taken over by another) according to Dynamic. I'll be looking for other brands to purchase rather than try to keep my old 150's working. Parts may be an issue. We have two 150's working two shifts and have booked over 13000 screens since January. Those machines were real good. I've had mine for years.

I can't believe that bulbs are so make and model specific that someone here can't steer you towards another as an alternative replacement.

they might have been, but i have been in contact with them this week for new bulbs for our machine.  you can get them online if you search for them.  i am getting mine through amergraph

[GraphicDisorder]

Thanks for the info, I use one of those myself as well.  Guess its time to consider another brand.

Why?  that is a commercially available bulb.  cross reference the number, no biggie.

I called Amergraph Monday and had them email the user manual for the 755 i picked up.  no problem at all....as a matter of fact, I am ordering some other parts.

Need a bigger one anyway.  Thats why, id like to be able to do 2 at once or even have the dual trilock on it so when I go from 23x31s to 25x36's.

I thought being able to burn two screens at one time was great until I found out I could only wash one at a time.

We have room in our wash out you could wash two at a time.

i got 3 boxes of "used" bulbs here for my 150, (none are shot i just replaced them when they got slow)....the UPS label came from "HID ULTRAVIOLET LLC" (http://www.hid.com/)  label on side of box says the following:

BURN POSITION: HOR +\- 10deg
BASE: A-Y05
HID 10888
Product # 32587
AMERGRAPH CORPORATION

Hey Brandt I may be interested when you are ready to upgrade.

[mk162]

darryl, you can use a dip tank for rinsing screens.  I will probably pick one up to do ours with.  I will set up a timer system so that the screens soak for the proper time before rinsing.

Update, I just talked to a very nice lady at Amergraph.  They are merging the companies.  HID is the same company, just a different division.  Everything is done under the HID name, but they still have the Amergraph website.

ordered a new bulb for our 755, along with a couple other parts...very nice people to work with

[Ron Pierson]

OK - cool. Merging rather than dying is a good thing. Glad to hear it.

[mk162]

very good thing.  I think the other end of their business is stronger, so they are going to keep everything under that umbrella

[T Shirt1]

Does anyone have a current contact number for them - Amerigraph and HID?  We've tried the numbers on both web pages and the phone doesn't even ring.
For the Advantage 150 we need a K1 relay.  Ideas?

Thanks,
