Customer service were very patient and helpful when communicating with me to figure out the problem with the machine! Thank you for the repair, printer works again! It did take a little longer than expected to get it back, about three weeks instead of two.

The issue I had with the printer was resolved with speed and professionalism.

Support were very helpful but sadly we didn't manage to get the 2010 machine working again and I had to buy a new machine.

Great Job! I was impressed that the printer problems were fixed quickly and returned to me and packaged properly so it was returned to me in great condition, and nothing broke. Nice job! Thanks for your good service!

We ended up not getting the piece repaired due to the cost but support was great about getting back to me which I appreciate.
