Printing Equipment Appraisals
Printing machinery and equipment are indispensable assets. While their purpose is clear, their exact value is not. You may know the original purchase price of your printing equipment. However, this is not the value others may be willing to pay. Equipment ages and breaks down. Its value is subjective and fluctuates with market supply and demand. A printing equipment appraisal can determine the fair market value, liquidation value, or replacement cost of the printing equipment.

What is a Printing Equipment Appraisal?
A printing equipment appraisal is a comprehensive valuation of your printing equipment. It involves detailed market research and specific valuation methods. As a result, an equipment appraiser can identify the equipment’s fair market value, liquidation value, or replacement cost. The fair market value represents more than just the original purchase price. It factors the current condition, market demand, and more into the equation. This approach produces a more accurate and reliable equipment appraisal.
