Epson s40600 media usage amount

[gixxer2004]

I am looking at purchasing a used epson s40600. The media usage is 75,000 feet square and was wondering if that is considered high or low for a production printer. Just trying to determine how much life it still has in it. It is a 2019 and the nozzle check is perfect.

My personal opinion is always buy new inkjets if you can. That said, my 80600 has 210,000 sqft on it, and started printing in June 2021.

The bigger concern is if it's been run and maintained regularly. They're like old cars—the plumbing LOVES running, but hates sitting. The printout that shows the sqft should also show the last handful of head maintenance (manual cleaning) dates.

I don't think it is being used very much currently which I agree can be bad. The printhead nozzle test is perfect and it is being sold by a reputable company. I agree new is definitely best. I am currently running a 2010 mimaki jv33 that I bought used and ran the wheels off of it. I also learn how to maintain, problem solve and work on my own machines which alot of owners don't do.

I just retired one of mine, hit almost 900 000 square feet printed, so 75 000 is low milage.
