What you should pay attention to when order used sublimation printer?

More and more large-format used sublimation printers are becoming available in the market, but people are continuously asking themselves: "Is it worth the risk?" 
The debate between investing in a new or used printer is a topic worthy of attention. today the focus is on the things you should consider while looking for a used sublimation machine.
New or used, your printer considerations will begin with the products you intend to produce and related to that the requisite ink system. Will you be printing on hard substrates, textiles for  sportswear or fashion wear, signage, interior or any of the other wide range of applications of sublimation? Depending on the end usage of your printed substrates you will need to be using certain types of inks, which in turn are not always suitable with all used sublimation printers you will come across. Besides compatibility your have to think of aspects like color range, ink adhesion, light fastness, cracking etc. Make sure to also do your homework on the ink prices you can expect from the different sublimation ink options, as ink will be one of the most expensive consumables in your process and cost savings there can quickly add up to quite big amounts.

Secondly, you will be faced with the task of integrating the sublimation printer into an existing or new production process. Are you looking for a flatbed, roll-fed, hybrid, or perhaps a special printing line? What volumes do you expect to be producing and what printing productivity does your printer need to offer in relation to that? Whatever your choice, make sure that the machine your are purchasing comes with access to technical support for the installation and maintenance or else you are bound to face a bundle of stressful and time-consuming problems along the way.
What about price? The cost of a particular machine model will vary enormously dependent on age, condition, service history, volume undertaken, estimated print cost per square meter and other factors. Also, think about the cost and availability of spare parts? Sometimes a replacement head could substantially increase the price of a machine which looks like a good deal at first glance.
Make sure to inquire about all aspects before making your choice in order to avoid any hidden surprises after you have purchases the sublimation machine.
Is the used sublimation machine in a "good to go" condition or does it need additional elements, such as software in order to be operational? If so, are those included in the sale?
• Is the RIP software included and transferable?
• De-commissioning is not just a case of unplugging from the power supply and lifting on the back of a flatbed. The heads may require flushing, etc.
