What would you do??
I have recently bought a Versacamm sp540 over a 5 year deal which comes with a 1 year warranty. I have now been offered a breakdown and accidental damage policy for a little over £28 per month which covers everything from what I can see. Now for those of you out there with roland machine or even any printer. Is it worth me taking them up with this policy or should I have little problems with this machine??
Oh for a crystal ball lol
Any advice or comments appreciated.
Cheers

I assume that’s the price for the first year only? What about the second, third etc?
I was recently offered extended warranty for my plotter which was almost as much as you are being asked for, and it’s only worth about 3 grand new. So yours seems quite reasonable, in comparison.

Not that I own one – but is the printhead concidered a ‘consumable’ since there’s always seems to be a get-out clause with these extended warranties.

The guy who is trying to sell the policy to me says it covers everything … i think i`m gonna sk to see a copy of the terms and conditions …. i have been caught out by similar waranties before. An i`ll give Grafityp a call as that was where I bought it.
But no it is £28 per month over 5 years.
Thanks anyway

Is it from roland, A reseller or an independent engineer?

To be honest it sounds too good to be true. Ongoing cover for the Cadet is about £100 a month – but then the inks are more aggressive so there are more chances of faults developing on the Cadet than the Versacamm.
If the contract is with Roland I would say go for it. If it’s a third party I would look into it a bit more to check the cover you will be getting.

The policy is through Norwich union. I have asked to see a copy of the terms and conditionswhich i`m meant to be getting tomorrow.
i`ll let you know how i get on.
Cheers for your response.

my experience of these policies is that most things can be classed as "wear and tear" rather than "Breakdown" and therefore excluded. Please check that out very carefully.
I think it’s better to go with a supplier or manufacturer’s warranty contract. Insurance companies cover so many different products that they find it difficult to be precise in their wording.

Thanks John
I`ve decided to give it a wide berth due to this wear and tear factor. All I would be doing is doubling up on insurance i already have with the building and contents.
