?? Cost to refurbish a used DTG if buying used.

United States

Having looked at the many models of various used DTG's of different brands, I was wondering if someone could give me an idea of what it would cost to refurbish or make ready for use, a used machine that had been marginally taken care of.

The DTG Kiosk, type series. New print heads, cleaning, etc. What would that run?

A brother GT 541, I'm told the heads are $700 each,,,,is that correct.

Neoplex?

Anajet?

The ads below this post appear to be from a leasing company, that has either repoe'd them, or they came off lease and were turned in. And, I've gotten emails from other leasing companies, swearing to their condition and maintenance, yet few with any records, for very inviting prices.

If you bought a DTG brand for $2500 to $3550, and added new heads, and other necessary items, how much more would it run?

If you're going to have a 3 to 5 year old machine, and end up with $6k to $8k in it, no warranty, no support, no training, it's almost better to buy new, or from a dealer refurbished trade in.

Any opinions out there?
