Considering buying a older Indigo

[Iggy]

Hi All

I'm thinking of buying an older HP Indigo.
Probably 5500 or 7000 or similar.

Now, we are a small specialty printshop. Will run maybe 500-1000 prints a day and i do not want to spend $300.000 on a certified used one.

How difficult is it to maintain these machines?
And when it comes to it, is it even possible to find parts and a service tech fix things. (USA Virginia area)

thanks

If you print on difficult substrates Indigo is the best imho but 500-1000 prints -by prints you mean sheets i presume- its not worth it

Thanks but I'm trying to see how difficult it is to maintain the machines and find parts and service outside of a service contract.

From what i heard at 2025 they will stop support of 5500 so...think upon it

Yeah, you should go with the 7000 instead... btw I run a 5600 in my country and the machine is outside of service contract, and let me tell you that maintenance turns to be expensive even when I make good use of the press, consumables are expensive and parts sometimes take a long time to arrive, and not to mention the tech service, if you have or you are a skilled operator you can save some money by installing parts for yourself. Honestly I find it worth it if you print at least 4,000 sheets a day

If you're still looking for a old Indigo, I have 3 HP Indigo 2000's. 1 roll-to-roll, and 2 sheet fed. 1 sheet fed is a parts machine. While the "good" machines were running when taken out of service, they have been sitting in storage for years. I bought them 5-6 years ago with the intent of doing what it sounds like you want to do. I changed direction and I just never got around to doing it. I also have 4-5 pallets of supplies. I am in central North Carolina. Happy to move the machines if you have an interest. Thanks.
