Disposition of Removed Parts During Conversion

If you would like us to return or retain any specific parts, you must notify us in writing before the printer is shipped to us. We are unable to guarantee the return of removed parts unless prior written instructions are provided.

Turnaround Time

Typical turnaround time is 7–14 business days after receiving the printer, depending on current workload.

⚠ Important – Read Before Shipping Your Printer

To ensure a smooth and timely conversion or repair process, please review the following requirements carefully.

🧴 All Ink Must Be Removed

Before shipping your printer to us:

• All ink must be completely removed from the tanks

• Tanks must be empty and clean

• No residual ink should remain inside the tank chambers

• Do not ship printers with ink inside the system

Printers received with ink in the tanks may experience leakage during shipping and internal contamination during service.

🚚 Shipping & Leakage Responsibility

• We are not responsible for ink leakage during transit

• We are not responsible for internal contamination caused by ink left in tanks

• Any damage caused by leaking ink during shipping is the sender’s responsibility

Please package your printer securely and ensure it is dry and clean before shipping.

🧽 Dirty or Leaking Printers

If we receive a printer that:

• Has ink leakage inside the machine

• Has visible ink contamination

• Is excessively dirty

• Requires internal cleaning before service can begin

A $100 cleaning and decontamination fee will be charged before any repair or conversion work proceeds.

This fee covers:

• Internal cleaning

• Ink removal

• Contamination mitigation

• Workbench preparation time

Why This Policy Exists

Ink contamination significantly increases:

• Labor time

• Risk of component damage

• Electrical short risks

• Service delays

To maintain a professional repair environment and protect all customer equipment, printers must arrive clean and ink-free.
