S & P Brokerage- Building the Complete Listing - Submitting Machine, Head Test & Samples Images

Buyers want Complete Listings. That includes Machine Images.

Front angled image

Front straight-on image

Rear straight-on image

Close-ups of heads

Ink reservoirs

Options such as power winder, RIP CPU, extra heaters, etc.

Here is an example.

All images will be displayed at 320 x 220 x 72 dpi. Clarity, and proper exposure are more important than resolution. A well-exposed, and sharp (properly focused) one megabyte image is sufficient.

Head Test & Samples Images convey useful information about the nozzles, and head transport mechanism.

Head tests will be requested right away. Head replacement in a used machine is the greatest single cost, and consequently, the greatest concern for any Buyer.

Please take detailed images of all standard head tests.

Here is an example.

Printed sample images are also important. They indicate "real world" printing capability, especially to a Buyer who is evaluating a machine for a particular purpose.

Here is an example.

All images will be displayed at no more than 480 x 380 x 72 dpi. Clarity, and good lighting are very important.


Each of those main page images are 320 x 220 x 72 dpi. That is 225 kilobytes. The print head tests are no more than 480 x 380 x 72 dpi, or 548 kilobytes. Since most digital cameras have several settings for resolution, use whatever is convenient, but keep in mind quality of image is more important than size.

Please email all images to images@spbrokerage.com
