How to buy a used offset press

Second mobile phone is a way for us to buy offset printing machine. As China enters the WTO, printing companies are likely to face many opportunities to deal with second-hand equipment. Although the new device is convenient and comfortable to use, the investment of the second mobile phone will be much smaller than it. If appropriate, why not do it? Of course, there are a lot of risks in the purchase of a second mobile phone, just like buying a second-hand house or a second-hand car now. How to consider when buying second-hand equipment, this article will give some related suggestions.

Let ’s first look at an example to understand the process of buying used equipment by a foreign company:

A printing company in the United States called Harmmond. The company is mainly engaged in the commercial printing business of coating four-color booklets. There are 35 employees and its annual production is $ 4.5 million. When they needed to buy printing presses to increase production, they chose the second mobile phone. They need a five-color printing machine with a coating device, which requires that the printing volume should not exceed 65 million prints; moreover, this equipment must pass the trial test of our company's printing collar machine.

With these conditions, the company found a supplier and assembler of used equipment. Therefore, the second-hand equipment manufacturer chose a five-color Heidelberg Speedmaster 102F with an applicator for them, which had only 50 million copies. Harmmond then sent two pilots to the location of the equipment to evaluate the equipment. After conducting a complete printing test on the equipment and checking the mechanical structure of the printing press, they returned to the company with proofs.

This example is very simple, but the truth is very valuable: to buy second-hand equipment, we must first determine the requirements for second-hand equipment according to specific needs; second, we must make a practical operational assessment of the second-hand equipment.

So what should be considered when buying a used offset press?

One is to consider the printed volume, just like second-hand car buyers, for cars that travel more than 100,000 miles, they will not consider buying it again. It is common for buyers of second-hand offset printing machines to have a printed volume of 100 Wanyin's equipment is not considered. Some experts have questioned this common sense, and they believe that the yield cannot be used as an accurate factor in determining the quality and reliability of the printing press. In general, the total printing volume of a good brand printing machine above 29 inches can be between 200 million and 400 million, depending on the degree of maintenance and care. Although the number of prints should be considered when purchasing the machine, the maintenance and maintenance of the printing equipment is also very critical.

Therefore, the second is to consider the maintenance of the equipment. Many printer sales offices have maintenance records of all the equipment they sell. For example, if you purchase a second-hand equipment produced by Heidelberg, as long as you find the serial number of the product, you can ask Heidelberg to provide the maintenance record of the product. The company will tell you which parts have been repaired or replaced. The printing press will always be bad, but maintenance plays a big role in the mechanical integration of the printing press;

The third thing to consider is the type of business already printed on the equipment. If a device prints cardboard on three working days a day, it will obviously be worse than printing 40 pounds of letterhead on two shifts a day.

Therefore, if you want to buy second-hand equipment:

1. Make a feasibility budget: investigate the market value of the printing press, determine the size, function, and yield requirements of the required equipment; then go to the second-hand equipment seller to understand the availability and price of the printing press.

2. Investigate the situation of the seller: understand the seller's employment situation and strength. And to its customers to understand its services, printing press conditions and after-sales service.

3. Find an expert technician to evaluate the equipment: find a neutral technician to examine the equipment, and then provide a complete report on the condition of the equipment. It is not recommended to use our company's technical staff, because the company's staff can easily compare the equipment with the company's situation and draw a conclusion, which affects the accuracy of the evaluation results.

4. Print test of the equipment: This work is very important. It is generally recommended to use standard printing test samples as testing tools, for example: GATF offset press test table, to diagnose the equipment registration, resolution, color control and reproduction, dot expansion, overprinting, and ghosting.

5. Reject: If the printing press test finds that there are major problems with its registration, ghosting, etc., do not buy it, just say "no".


Where are we going to learn about the second mobile phone information?

The second-hand equipment on the market will come from two aspects: first, some auctioned products of the closed companies; second, some manufacturers use the equipment soon, but the growth plan comes quickly, they will eliminate the original model, and Replace with newer equipment of higher quality. In any case, the emergence of the second mobile phone is a good supplement to the offset press sales market.

At present, there are many large offset printing machine manufacturers that have begun to provide their own mobile phone sales. For example: Heidelberg, they received a second mobile phone order of $ 30 million at Print01 in Chicago. These large companies will be very popular with users because of their good reputation, price and quality assurance. For example: Heidelberg provides a 21-step reassembly process for second mobile phone customers, including the use of carbon dioxide gas flow to clean the printer, check and replace standard accessories, and is responsible for installation and training. Mitsubishi America Corporation and Komori America Corporation also provide two mobile phone services, both companies have established their own two mobile phone sales website.

The second source of information is agency companies, who do not buy or sell equipment themselves. However, they will provide a bridge between the seller and the buyer. In addition to providing buyers with a list of second-hand equipment information from various places, they may also do some evaluation of the printing press, these companies generally only charge the seller.

The third source of information is used equipment sellers. These companies buy various equipment from manufacturers, printers and auction houses and then sell them. While they are selling, they will also reassemble second-hand equipment, and will use the printing control board to test the printing effect.

With the increasing value of the Internet, many second-hand equipment transactions are conducted on Internet sites that provide related services. Some Internet sites provide a free platform for buyers and sellers to allow them to search for relevant information, and to contact and transact without any intermediary fees. There are neither agents nor sellers. Sometimes, the seller only needs to pay a small release fee. Allegedly, this is the fastest, cheapest and easiest method. However, this online website does not satisfy the buyer. If there is a dispute between the buyer and the seller, the website will not mediate. Therefore, buyers who trade on the Web must be very cautious, and products can only be paid for transactions after passing inspection.

Attachment: In foreign information media, we will see the information of the second mobile phone products. In order to help everyone fully understand the situation of the second mobile phone, we introduce several description terms of the second mobile phone.

* Remanufactured or Rebuilt:

The word can be translated as "reengineering"; for sheet-fed offset printing presses, companies generally don't really do it. This costly remanufacturing process will only be used to process expensive web presses. If such descriptors appear, at least it should be considered that the equipment has been completely disassembled, the gears have been updated, the rollers have been re-plated, and new electronic components have been assembled.

* Reconditioned or Refurbished:

The word can be translated as "reassembly"; the word Remanufactured is too large, and Heidelberg believes that it is better to use Refurbished. Because, they generally do not completely dismantle the second-hand equipment and rebuild it. The 21-step process provided by the company includes: cleaning the printing press, refurbishing small parts, testing and replacing certain parts, and being responsible for installation and training.

Another Prince company likes to use the word Reconditioned. It believes that this description should include complete degreasing, the use of new blanket components, and rewiring to achieve complete safety standards. In addition, the damage to the roller should be repaired, and the bracket is not damaged.

* As-is, where-is:

If we accept the current situation of a second-hand printing press and decide to buy it, there will be some risks that are not guaranteed: if there is any problem after the equipment is sold, we will also fully bear it. Moreover, in order to save money, some companies may choose to install by themselves (if the seller is responsible for installation, they will charge a certain fee). Some equipment manufacturers or debuggers will guarantee that even if this equipment is sold, it will try to help solve some major problems on the equipment. This is the concept of As-is, where-is. However, such verbal commitments are not guaranteed, so in the agreement, we must clearly list possible problems in the contract as possible.

Therefore, when evaluating a second-hand device, be sure to ask the seller what work they have done for the repair of this device.
