Default What to look for in used equipment?

I am finally ready to purchase some equipment of my own. I want to get a 6 / 6 press and a good dryer. My question is what should I be looking for in a used press and conveyor dryer. Is there a way to check the heating element in a dryer and should I try and print on the press to see if it holds registration? Thanks for your help.

Hello Derek,

Before you buy any used equipment you should have a third party certified tech for the manufacture of the equipment do a complete diagnostic.
Then and only then will you know what you are buying.

I hope this helps.
Michael
