    We are not mechanics. We are electrical engineers for the printing industry and have been providing independent electrical troubleshooting in the past 28 years in the greater Chicago area. We can repair your water controls, ink fountain roller drive panels, main drive panels and all associated motors at our location. In addition, we sell many of the control components, solenoids and contactors used in European printing and converting equipment.
