Equipment Demonstration and Production Inspection
We conduct a test demonstration of the equipment and retain several production samples. We also make multiple breakaway runs to check the cylinder surfaces for damage or low areas.

Buy With Confidence
Understand the Condition First
When purchasing pre-owned printing equipment, understanding the condition of the equipment before it arrives at your facility is an important part of the buying process. Dixie Reproductions offers comprehensive printing equipment inspections as part of our selling process, providing customers with detailed information about the equipment and its operating condition.
Our inspection process is designed to evaluate key press functions and components, document the equipment through production testing, and identify any areas that may require attention. When possible, we also retain production samples from the test demonstration so the final production setup on your floor can be matched as closely as possible to the demonstrated setup.
