Agfa Jeti Mira 2732

[D3D]

Curious about peoples experiences with this machine. Its not extremely popular but a used machine has come up on my radar at a price worth considering. The other machine that does what we want is the Oce 2280 - which will almost certainly have better service but does not have LED lamps. Thoughts?

I believe the Agfa is somewhat quicker than the Oce.
Quality Wise, It's hard beating the Oce.

LED lamp is a good thing to have too.

I would want samples from both machines.

Investigate service from Agfa, your jaw may hit the floor (maybe the same for Oce).

Both have good quality but slower thank 5 o’clock.

This too.

Although, most the parts from Oce are available to the customer and come with instructions to replace.

Not following your 5 o'clock comment. Just saying they are slow compared to newer machines?

D3D, what kind of speeds are you needing? real speeds as in fully complete BPH ready for finishing

 

[D3D]

Hey Troy. Well your machines are fast, but also out of my price range

We have Jeti mira at our shop, a Good reliable flatbed, also have a roll to roll option. ( which is not so great to work with). We use to own oce, before Jeti mira came in. Agree with Pauly print quality is great on oce. Jeti has speed. white ink on Jeti is more opaque than Oce. Jeti has 1,2,3,4, up to 8 -12 pass options. we normally run at 4 pass and it takes abt 2.25 min for 4x8 board. will get banding on 2 pass and draft mode ( 1 pass) and AGFA cant fix this issue. So they say 1 and 2 pass modes are for cheap jobs, which I don't understand. I find parts are bit expensive than oce, but easier to fix. we have a service contract on ours. I really like LED lamps on JETi Mira. Turns on and off in secs. Like the ability to just pour ink in containers VS ink bags on Oce. what I hate abt mira is how its require print head alignment every time every change substrate from 3 mill to different thickness. on Oce it was automatic.

Appreciate the detailed review

Regarding A Jeti Mira 2732 : Has Anyone ever had problems with the lamps not wanting to stay on? I have done a series of restarts. I restarted the HONLE MUC from the diagnostics screen. After doing that the lamps will turn on for about 15 seconds or so. Then they turn off again. I Tried Resetting the HONLE Box in the back of the press. they just keep shutting off. Any Suggestions?
