When buying a used imagesetter, you have to make sure that you get support for service and parts. I personally know several companies that purchased second hand imagesetters from sources that could not provide after sales support; and they regretted their purchase later on.

Here is a list:
1. A company owner purchased an imagesetter from a friend who closed shop to migrate to the U.S.. He never got the unit running.
2. A printing machine dealer imported an imagesetter for his press. After 3 months, the unit broke down. He never got it repaired.
3. A company bought an imagesetter from the ADB auction last year. Until now it's not yet running.
4. 2 companies I know imported units from the U.S.. They never got them running because of missing or defective parts.

There are more sad stories to share.

The advise I can give is to purchase from dealers that can provide the following:
1. units that have been refurbished and tested prior to delivery.
2. installation
3. warranty
4. support for parts and service.
5. good reputation and tract record.

thank you for the advice mr. press tech., i really appreciate.
pls. inform me some supplier and contacts for purchasing imagesetter with long term agreement and care for the unit itself.

im seeking for a 12 inches, preferably linotronic 330 with processor and rip or a scitex 200, 14x19 also with complete accessories.tnx
