Critical Factors Affecting Your UV Printer Warranty

Wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer in USA

If you’re considering investing in a wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer for your business, getting a good manufacturer’s warranty is critical. Unfortunately, many people don’t pay much attention to the warranty – which can end up being a costly mistake that reduces profitability and compounds problems over time, especially when the warranty period expires.

It may seem a bit overwhelming, you should read the entire warranty carefully before purchasing a wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer. This will help to ensure that there are no nasty surprises in store for you when something goes wrong with your wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer, only to find that the problem is not actually covered by the warranty.

Now we’ll provide you with a little help so that you can concentrate very closely on the parts of the warranty that can prove to be most important in saving you money if you encounter problems with your wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer down the line. Here are three factors you should carefully consider to help ensure you get the right warranty when purchasing a printer.

1) Length of Warranty

The warranty term is crucial when assessing your total cost of ownership (TCO). That’s because costly repairs that are no longer covered by the warranty can end up greatly reducing your return on investment. In fact, having an acceptable TCO is the key to ensuring that you generate the maximum return on your invested capital.

All major printer manufacturers offer at least a one-year warranty on new printers. Printers Media Plus, LLC offers one-year warranty on all the JHF wide format digital inkjet printers.

2) What’s Covered and What’s Not?

Even if you have an extended warranty on your wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer, it will do you no good if it doesn’t cover the actual printer parts that break down or need to be replaced. That’s why it’s vital to carefully read the warranty to find out what is covered and what is not. Some of the components in the printer, such as the print heads, ink filter, ink pump, ink tubing, and other consumables that belong to the ink delivery system, are not covered under the warranty period.

3) Check the Maintenance Schedule

Many people don’t realize that failure to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule for your printer can actually void the warranty. Check to see how often maintenance and/or regular replacement of key parts is required – and take into consideration the costs of these parts as well as labor. In addition, maintenance causes downtime, which also costs you money. So, if the wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer you purchase is high maintenance, it may significantly reduce your profitability over the long term.

Maintenance is considered a preventative function to keep your printer running efficiently and prevent any costly unplanned downtime from unexpected equipment failure. Printers Media Plus, LLC and JHF recommend a simple 10 -15 minutes procedure at the end of each week to provide maximum uptime and stop problems before they occur.

Following are a few very important questions to ask yourself when preparing to purchase a wide format UV LED digital inkjet printer. These questions will help guide you through the selection process and help you to make the best choice for overall quality as well as a warranty that fits your specific printing and production needs.

  • What can I expect after the warranty expires with service?
  • What specific parts can I expect to replace during the warranty period?
  • What are the top three parts that require replacement during and after the warranty period?
