Demo & Pre-Owned Equipment for Professional Printing Applications
Demo and pre-owned equipment is an attractive way to acquire high-quality printing systems at a significantly reduced price. Whether heat press, sublimation printer, textile printer or DTF system – with an inspected demo or pre-owned unit you enter professional print production affordably and without loss of quality.
Especially for beginners or when expanding production capacity, it is worth taking a look at used technology. The units come either from demonstrations and trade fairs or were taken back as part of an exchange and professionally inspected and reconditioned. In Print Equipment's range you'll find a large selection of demo and pre-owned equipment for different requirements.
What are demo and pre-owned equipment and how do they come about?
Demo and pre-owned equipment are printing systems that have already been in use but are still fully functional and powerful. Before resale they undergo a thorough technical inspection, which is decisive for a reliable and durable print result.
The typical path of a pre-owned unit is clearly structured:
- The unit is used as a demonstration model at trade fairs or in the showroom, or is taken back in the course of a customer upgrade
- It is technically inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, fitted with new wear parts
- Function, print quality and safety are finally checked
- After a successful inspection, the unit is offered at a reduced price in our shop
Demo and pre-owned equipment is available for almost all printing processes. Whether sublimation, film transfer or DTF printing – for every technology you'll find inspected second-hand systems that make it easier for you to start or expand your production.
Used machines are also available to you in DTG printing or classic textile printing. This way you can invest in professional printing technology even with a limited budget.
Why demo and pre-owned equipment is an attractive alternative
Demo and pre-owned equipment plays an important role for a cost-effective start in professional print production. Only with an inspected and reliable machine can convincing results be achieved even when used.
The most important advantages include:
- Attractive price advantage: Compared to new units you often save a considerable amount without having to compromise on function
- Inspected quality: Every unit is technically checked before sale and repaired if necessary
- Immediate availability: Pre-owned units are generally ready for pick-up or shipping at short notice
- Versatile selection: Demo and pre-owned equipment is available for a wide range of printing processes – from heat presses and sublimation printers to DTF systems. The planned area of use, not the budget alone, is decisive for the choice.
- Sustainable investment: By continuing to use technology that has already been produced, you conserve resources and reduce your ecological footprint
This makes demo and pre-owned equipment an excellent solution for the first start as well as the targeted expansion of existing production capacities.
Which types of demo and pre-owned equipment are there?
Depending on the area of use, different demo and pre-owned equipment comes into question.
Heat presses
Used heat presses are in particularly high demand because they can be used versatilely for textiles and other flat materials. From demo models to returned presses, you'll find inspected systems for professional transfer printing here.
Typical areas of use are:
- Textiles such as T-shirts, hoodies or bags
- Aluminum plates or plastic
- Promotional items and flat special formats
Through our demo & pre-owned equipment in the heat press category you secure inspected quality at an attractive price.

Used sublimation printers are ideal for anyone who wants to enter sublimation printing or expand their capacities without immediately investing in a new unit.
With them you can print products such as:
- Textiles
- Mugs and drinking vessels
- Promotional items
- Decorative and gift items
reliably. Depending on the model and condition, different features come into play, which are inspected to match your needs.
Textile printers & DTF systems

They are particularly suitable for:
- Direct printing on textiles

What to look out for when buying a demo or pre-owned unit
If you want to buy a demo or pre-owned unit, you should consider various factors in order to find the right solution for your needs.
Important criteria are:
- Condition and usage: How intensively the unit has been used so far and what its technical condition is
- Inspected function: A technical inspection before sale is decisive for a reliable result. In some cases, information on maintenance carried out or wear parts replaced is also available
- Remaining warranty: Depending on the model and age, a manufacturer's warranty may still apply
- Production volume: From single pieces to series production
- Availability and delivery time: For a quick start into production
The right selection ensures that you can work efficiently and reliably in the long term even with a used unit.
Demo and pre-owned equipment for different applications
Depending on the printing process and area of use, the demands on your demo or pre-owned unit vary considerably. While in textile printing reliable function and inspected print quality are above all decisive, applications such as sublimation or DTF require technology specifically matched to the process.
The choice of the right demo or pre-owned unit therefore depends strongly on which process you want to use. For a cost-efficient start, many users rely on an inspected pre-owned unit as a complement to existing equipment in order to expand production flexibly.
