What customers say about our support...

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.

Printer model: Prima 4

Same day reply and gave all the information I could need to fix the issue I had and it worked first time

Printer model: Rio Pro 360

Fixed and working well, would have been easier if could have paid by credit card

Printer model: Prima Laminator

Overall a good experience. Seemed quite expensive to repair our printer we sent in for RMA considering we could buy a brand new printer (newer model) for half the price..

Printer model: Enduro3e

The support team was very responsive and provided the information needed to address the issue.

Printer model: Rio Pro
