Buying Used Printing Equipment: Essential Factors to Consider

Before you can decide if buying used equipment is the right choice, you need to determine what your true objectives are.  
Over the years I’ve owned a dozen automatic presses and of those I purchased three of them as used machines.
I’ve also sold all of them into the used market and have dealt with a wide range of experiences related to those sales. In addition, I’ve moved half a dozen presses to new locations as we increased our operations and moved into new facilities. This process goes well beyond the obvious of adding more production capacity to your shop, but that’s a good place to start.
