You want to buy any machine for printing industry and have already found a suitable offer from a dealer. However, you don’t know what has happened to the machine in the past and what is hiding inside behind the beautiful pictures. Look at the pictures we took these pictures in different locations over a period of several months. All these, and many other problems after payment become the buyer’s headache.
The seller will definitely show you what you want to see. However, when you pay the money and the machine arrives at your print shop, there may be many troubles you didn’t even realise were there. Cinderella’s beautiful carriage turns into an unmoving pumpkin, and now you’ll have to think about where to get the money for repairs.
Book our independent inspection of the used machine before you pay for it. Our inspection reduces the risk of costly repairs in the future.
Following the inspection, the customer will receive a certificate of inspection as well as a detailed report on each of the assemblies in PDF. Photos and videos will be available at the link.
In order to maintain confidentiality, the certificate is issued by machine model and serial number, without reference to the name of the printing house and the place of inspection. If the customer is a seller, he is free to pass the certificate to his potential buyer without disclosing the location of the machine.
The purchaser can request the authenticity of the issued certificate from us on the website. In doing so, we maintain the confidentiality of all parties.
Do you see a tablet in the technician’s hand in the photo?
You’re not wrong. The inspector actually inspects the printing press in real time and immediately enters the inspection data into our online database in Google Forms. In the same database, he attaches the photos taken to confirm the results of the inspection.
This test is suitable for the vast majority of users who are far away from the inspection site. It is also suitable where the purchaser print shop does not perform jobs of higher complexity, such as those using spectrophotometry, where high sheet accuracy is not required (lenticulars, IML printing, high speed perfecting work, etc.).
We inspect the machine in the process of operation and fill in a special check-list, which describes the current state of the main units responsible for quality printing. We test the equipment not only in printing mode, but also when changing plates.
We will pay attention to the performance and condition of densitometric or spectrophotometric print quality control – Image Control, Axis Control, Inpress Control, ACR and others.
Software licences and the number of hours of dryer lamp operation are specified. In addition, special attention is paid to the maintenance of the machine, as the attitude of the operating staff also affects the overall condition of the machine.
