Printek Expands Warranty Service Program to International Resellers


October 29, 2008, Benton Harbor, MI USA - Printek, Inc., a leading provider of innovative and reliable business printing solutions, announced the expansion of the PrintekMobile Service Warranty Provider Program for International Printek Resellers. All Printek International Resellers will have the opportunity to sign-up for the flexible, easy-to-use PrintekMobile International Warranty Service Provider Program. By becoming a local service provider, International Resellers can increase their customer's satisfaction and expand their PrintekMobile sales margin.

PrintekMobile offers two warranty service programs to International customers: the standard one-year warranty and the extended Printek P3 three-year total warranty. The standard one-year mobile printer warranty covers the entire printer - case, battery, and printhead. This is an advantage over most other manufacturers, whose warranties are limited to 90-days on the battery and 6-months on the printhead. The PrintekMobile Extended P3 Warranty Program extends the standard one-year warranty to a total warranty of three years (the battery and printhead are warrantied for first year only). Service under this warranty period allows International Customers to return printers to their local authorized Printek Warranty Service Provider for service. All covered repairs during the warranty period are free of cost to the customer (incoming shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer).

When Printek Resellers sell the P3 extended warranty during the original printer purchase, they will receive an additional discount from the list price of the P3 service. The P3 extended warranty can also be purchased at any time during the initial one-year warranty period for standard P3 program list pricing, provided the printer is in working order at the time the warranty service is purchased.

The benefits of service contracts are compelling. Maintaining equipment in top working order is a business asset - as essential as any other investment you make in your operations. Service contracts can extend the life of capital equipment. Well-maintained equipment lasts longer, requires less downtime to repair, and is more reliable. Regular service can also help customers plan for technology upgrades and replacements, avoid mistakes and duplication of efforts, and accelerate the adoption of new technology. With a service agreement customers know their maintenance and service costs and can budget accordingly. When repairs are covered by a service contract, customers are less likely to postpone service on non-critical problems - thereby fostering top performance.

Printek will train International Resellers that offer the Printek Warranty Service Provider Programs to become certified in-house technical experts. To learn more about the PrintekMobile Warranty Programs, please call 269-925-3200 or email sales@printek.com.
