Not all machines come with installation. Some machines are suitable for customers to set up and install themselves, however some require a specialist engineer to install and set-up. We will advise what is needed for your machine at time of purchase.

It very much depends on the machine. Some machines are available for next working day, where-as some of our larger machines can take up to 12 weeks. In most instances, wide-format and UV machines are installed within 2 weeks.

Both Roland & Mimaki operate with a minimum 3-month expiry date on their inks. This parameter is set by the manufacturers, and we manage our stock rotation to ensure the best dates are sent out with each order. If you are a low volume user then please get in touch to discuss before placing your order.

If you need technical help for your equipment, please complete the technical support form on our tech page and we will get back to you to discuss your issue and come up with a plan to get you back up and running. In most cases we can fix the issue remotely but we will let you know if an onsite visit is needed and quote for the work accordingly.

We offer 3 tiers of support, Level 1 – if you purchased your machine from us AND its still under warranty, Level 2 – If your machine is under 6 years old and you are an active customer of ours (with £500 spend over previous 3 months), Level 3 if your machine is over 6 years old.

Once the form is submitted, please allow up to 24 hours (Monday to Friday) for our Team to respond, however we will likely make contact with you well within this time.

If you don’t meet the criteria for free support, or you’re not a current customer of ours, don’t worry, we also have paid options so please complete the Level 3 form.

Yes, we offer warranties via the manufacturers we sell on behalf of. There are a number of different packages and payment methods available. The majority offer Gold, Silver and Bronze – they differ in cost which is reflected in the speed of response to you and the parts covered on your machine. You can even take a warranty out on a machine, despite letting a previous warranty lapse (it doesn’t always have to simply be an extension, although that is most cost effective) – in this scenario the manufacturer would come and complete a service on the machine, to assess its condition before we can confirm costs to you but we can explain all that with you on enquiry. If you go to the technical tab and complete our online form, we will be back in touch.

This can be done by the end user in certain scenarios, however if the machine is needed to be tipped or isn’t able to be kept level then an onsite visit is recommended. Head over to the technical tab and complete our online form and one of our trained engineers will make contact to discuss your query further.

For optimum performance, we recommend you carry out a manual clean daily, or at the very least once per week if the machine only gets light use. For helpful how-to videos, please click on the Technical Tab for a link to our YouTube channel.

Yes of course, this is possible. In order for this to be done, the machine would need to be drained of ink, and the ink lines flushed through, in some cases the lines may need to be changed. We would strongly recommend that this is carried out by one of our trained Engineers. Please head over to the Technical Tab and complete a support form and we’ll be in touch to discuss this further.
