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

Thank you so much! The ID printer is working great and we really appreciate the honesty of your technicians! We could have easily been billed for repairs that weren't done, as our printer is no longer under warranty, but you didn\'t charge us at all. The technician superstar told me that it was a simple loose wire, which he reattached, and they shipped it back at no charge. Thank you!
