Great deal....with conditions
First thing, get a report. This machine has logged everything that has occured including the times it's been turned on, serviced, cleaned, the hours the motors have been running and the number of times the heads have fired ink.
Make sure the serial number matches the machine. Also look at the head strike count (motor errors). A machine that has been babied should have 5...maybe. You'll have to make the call on these numbers.
I'm sure that the ink has dried up in some part of the machine. I wouldn't touch this thing until you get a test print with reasonable results, meaning you have 95% of all the nozzles in all the heads. Refurbed sj's go for around 16,000 which mean they are used but working at 100%.
I (personally) would have the seller spend some dough on a set of cleaning cartridges and get a test print up to par. Good luck to you!
If you need a Machine to cut all that big material, or supplies to feed through it, Beacon Graphics offers the best support for software, hardware and materials. Give us a call.
