Amergraph Advantage 150 or Nuarc MSP3140
« on: May 13, 2012, 02:36:50 PM »
The Amergraph has about a $500 advantage but what are the real world differences? Any users that have one or have used both like to share their experience?

Have used both.  The Amergraph 150 is the unit I recommend to just about everyone.  Great unit.  Easy to use.

I have the blue tattoo so of course I will say 3140 because I know it lasts and the service, although you never will need it, is top notch.  Sonny isnt a blue guy so he prefers the other.  Resell might be better with one over the other.   I suppose they both will get the job done.

We use a Amergraph 150.  It is a good unit.  I think they were bought or something recently didn't someone say that?

Has nothing to do with being blue or not.  Just my opinion if unit A does what unit B does at less money then why not?

In light of recent events, some might say this endorsement is equal to a vote for the 3140. ;)

You talking bout Ameragraph being sold or the ink issues with Sonnys ink?

Not just the ink issue actually, since you are making me spell it out.

I have the MSP3140, bulbs last up to 2 years with screens about every day. Love it no problems at all, bought new. G Ordered it and got opportunity to get better freight from show deal.

Amergraph wasn't purchased, they just are merging with the other side of the company, CID.  They also have a lot to do with UV curing equipment.

Ya I knew it was something weird like that.  Most mergers though, don't work out for one side or the other.  Let's hope Ameragraph remains in good shape.

dang, I was typing in russian there for a minute....don't ask

There always were 2 parts to the company.  I think profits were down so they merged them to be one through one administrative unit.  That is more efficient anyway.  The other unit deals with UV curing things for floor coatings.  Similar business, different application.

Let me be more general. 

Changes like this to companies often are a sign of bad things to come for some portion of it.  Not saying that will happen.  I hope it doesn't, I have that unit and like it so id like parts/service to be available.
