Is the printer in good working order? Any clogs or nozzle deflections? When were the dampers and capping stations last changed? Are you able to flush out the heads and ink lines to prevent clogging during transit?

What is the size/weight of the box? I can't pick it up myself (being based in Australia) but can organise door-to-door pickup and delivery, i.e. send a truck around to your place.

Sorry but I can not prepare and crate this printer for shipping, this is why I need to sell it locally. It will have to be taken off the stand, wrestled through a tight entryway right into a vehicle, took 5 guys to get it in here.

Not sure what subtle differences there are between a 9900/7900 and a 9800/7800 but I picked up an almost new 7800 (using truck and arms method) from NJ drove it to NYC, used it for 2 yrs then shipped it to London.
Never flushed a thing out, just set the locking plate for transit
Has worked perfectly for me both in NYC and the UK.

I'm reluctant to change it as it runs so well.

I'm passing on my experience to help Tyler a bit by showing potential buyers that picking up a second hand large format printer is viable and as complicated as you want it to be.

I'm assuming no one needs a printer in a 5 storey walk up..!
