What kind of condition is it in, if it is in working order and you can get it for "next to nothing" why not play around with it
Thanks Victor - that's pretty much my thoughts too. It is working so I think I'll give it a go
but aren't there 3rd party sources, for parts, like buying from jimmy the plotter dr. for your gerber stuff
we have an OCE colorwave & they are not great (they treat you like they caught you shoplifting, since you didn't acquire your machine through an authorized dealer)
still, if i had the opportunity to acquire one of those, i think i would do it in a minute

Using OCE for service will bleed you dry. Very expensive
Do Not buy Old Printers One' Seiko, HP you name it.
The Old Printer is for sale because the Maintenance Cost.
It will Bleed you dry.
I have done the math. I know all of your reasons for wanting to buy a used printer.
No matter what, it will be a losing situation even on its best day.
It will consume every penny of your Profit. Without exception.
Every swinging Richard on this forum who has been down this road knows this too.
New HP Latex printers are cheap, and a new printer is going to make you a great profit your first 3 years
Due to low maintenance cost. Ink cartridges and disposable wiper station and the Print heads for
HP Latex are NOT maintenance items. these are Consumables, and that calculates into your
price per sq' to the customer.
A HP Latex printhead is $135. The Latex has a menu and function to change out print heads and
is self aligning. Friking thing of beauty.
A Minolta Konica ph is $1400 plus $700 for the tech to install it and align and etc.
That alone simply destroys any and all reasons and arguments you have for buying used.
Call Athens Paper and Grimco.
New Printers can pay for itself in the first month or the first year.
