    Hi all, we’re looking at getting our JV3 insured. Was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations?

    Thanks.

    Insured against what?

    For normal risks, like fire, theft etc, our printer is included in our main policy, which covers all our plant and machinery.

    If you are looking for breakdown/maintenance type of thing then your first step would be the supplier.

    John.

    We have been doing our homework into this and feel it would be better to get the machine insured rather then a maintenance contract so anything goes (print heads etc) we get it fixed then claim it back, i was told it works out approx £280.00 a year,

    Just wondered if anyone on here has it and if anyone knew a company for it

    My insurance company will insure our Jv3 against accidental damage, but not items that break down. Not heard of that one.

    yes, we have heard of someone successfully doing something like this and claiming the expenses of the printer supplier, my colleague went into it but we never did insure it. Although beyond my comprehension

    Hi,

    Thanks for the response. someonw who was trying to sell us third party inks said he knew of lots of people who did it, but on phoning around we was told we could only get it for damage and not breakdown, i think ill have to get the cover 😮

    thanks for your help
