How can I spot good Letterpress?
Physical Condition
Inspect the letterpress for signs of excessive wear and tear. Check if the frame is intact and free of cracks or major repairs. All moving parts should operate smoothly without abnormal sounds.
Type and Rollers
Examine the type faces (if included) and rollers for damage. The rollers should be free of cuts and not hardened. Ensure there's an even distribution of ink when it operates.
Brand and Model
Research the specific brand and model of the letterpress. Established brands often have better build quality and reliability. Knowledge of the model can also help determine availability of spare parts and maintenance ease.
Maintenance Records
Ask for maintenance logs and records. Regular maintenance indicates a well-maintained machine, reducing the likelihood of significant mechanical issues.
Market Price Comparison
Compare prices from different sellers of the same model in a similar condition to ensure you're getting a good deal. Sites like Werktuigen or Machineseeker can be useful for market price insights.
Demonstration Request
Always request a live demonstration of the letterpress to check its operational status and quality of print output. This can also reveal any potential problems not apparent in a visual inspection.
