When investing in used graphic machinery, businesses often seek reliability and performance to meet their operational needs. At Mekes Graphic Machinery, we understand that purchasing second-hand machines requires trust. That’s why we focus on delivering quality while offering flexible solutions to suit various customer requirements. Whether machines are fully refurbished or sold as-is, our goal is to provide value and dependability tailored to your needs.
In this blog, we will explain how Mekes upholds high standards in its used graphic machines while being transparent about the different options available.
Tailored inspection and evaluation
Not every machine we sell undergoes a complete refurbishment or full inspection—our process depends on the condition of the equipment and the customer’s needs.
For machines that require refurbishment, our team of skilled technicians begins with a comprehensive assessment to identify potential issues and areas for improvement. This evaluation typically covers:
- Mechanical parts such as gears, rollers, and drive systems
- Electrical systems, ensuring key components are functional and safe
- Software and controls, checking compatibility with modern printing standards
If no significant refurbishment is needed, we ensure the machine meets a basic level of functionality before listing it for sale. For buyers seeking additional peace of mind, we may offer guarantees or optional service packages to supplement their purchase.
Flexible refurbishment process
For machines undergoing refurbishment, we aim to restore them as closely as possible to optimal condition. This process includes:
- Replacing worn-out parts: High-quality components such as belts, rollers, or bearings are used to extend machine lifespan.
- Mechanical adjustments and calibration: Ensuring accuracy and efficiency during operation.
- Electrical system repair or upgrade: Outdated wiring and components are replaced as necessary.
- Software updates: Bringing the machine up to current industry standards where applicable.
Testing for reliable performance
For refurbished machines, comprehensive testing is a critical part of the process. Each machine is tested in scenarios that reflect real-world operations to verify its performance.
We evaluate:
- Print quality: Ensuring sharp, consistent results.
- Speed and efficiency: Confirming reliable operation at expected production speeds.
- Durability: Assessing the machine’s ability to handle sustained workloads.
Machines sold without extensive refurbishment may undergo lighter testing to confirm essential functionality.
Expert technicians with industry insights
Our team of skilled technicians brings years of experience in the graphic machinery industry. Their expertise ensures precise repairs, tailored upgrades, and the seamless integration of modern features into older equipment.
By staying updated on printing technology developments, our technicians deliver innovative solutions that enhance machine performance and extend usability, whether through a complete overhaul or minor adjustments.
Transparency and documentation
We believe in giving customers clear information about the machines they purchase. For machines that have been refurbished or inspected, we provide detailed reports that outline:
- The work performed during refurbishment
- Any parts replaced or upgraded
- Test results confirming operational performance
For as-is sales, we are equally transparent about the machine’s condition, helping customers make informed decisions.
Warranty options and long-term support
Some machines are sold with warranties, offering customers peace of mind. For other purchases, we offer additional service options that include maintenance support and access to replacement parts.
Our long-term support ensures that businesses can maintain smooth operations, regardless of the level of refurbishment or warranty chosen.
Conclusion
At Mekes Graphic Machinery, we pride ourselves on offering used graphic machines tailored to meet diverse business needs. Whether fully refurbished, inspected, or sold as-is, our machines deliver dependable solutions for commercial printing.
