FAQ
Questions people ask before buying
Quick answers before you add to cart.
Every unit passes a full functional test on intake, print quality, connectivity, and mechanical parts, then a second test right before it's packed and shipped. You'll get an intake report noting exactly what was checked. This isn't a "used, as-is" listing.
Mobile printers include 1 year parts and labor. Add 2 years for $19.99, or choose 3, 4, or 5 years at checkout for longer bumper-to-bumper coverage.
Use the compatibility checker on this page when shown. Pairings are inferred from public specs, not a TPO-tested guarantee. Call (312) 416-1518 (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm CST) before you buy if you are unsure.
Check Specs on this page. Call (312) 416-1518 if you are unsure.
Every printer includes free install support by phone or email for the life of the printer, not just a return window. Most setups take about 10 minutes. Start with Setup Studio, or call (312) 416-1518 (Mon–Fri 10am–6pm CST).
Ask for an RMA within 30 days of receipt. A restocking fee applies. The returns page has the fees and what we cannot take back.
Orders placed before the daily cutoff (shown live in the buy box) ship the same day on business days. You'll get tracking as soon as it leaves our warehouse.
