Refurbished Domino, Linx and Markem-Imaje CIJ buying checklist
Buying a refurbished continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer is a unit-level decision, not a catalogue-title decision. Condition, included accessories, and test evidence differ from machine to machine. This checklist helps dealers shortlist Domino, Linx, and Markem-Imaje units from the live refurbished CIJ printers category and ask for the right proof before money moves.
Shenzhen Mufeng Technology, established in 2012, supplies refurbished and used CIJ equipment under MufengTech. Brand names identify the original manufacturer of the machine. They are not a claim of brand authorisation. Price and lead time are on request on the reviewed product pages.
For the broader remanufactured-versus-new framing, keep the earlier article Refurbished vs New CIJ Printer: How to Choose. Today’s focus is a buying checklist for Domino, Linx, and Markem-Imaje listings.
Rule zero — treat every unit as unique
Every refurbished product page reviewed for this article carries the same caution: condition, test results, and included accessories differ from unit to unit — ask for photos or a test video of the exact unit before ordering. Do not buy from a marketing title alone.
Also confirm whether the listing is labelled refurbished or used. The Markem-Imaje 9020 page notes that “used” generally means cosmetic wear with operational status, while “refurbished” implies professional restoration to full working order. Ask which label applies to the exact serial you are quoting.
Shortlist the three brand paths from live pages
Domino path — A200+ class
Open the Refurbished Domino A200+ CIJ Printer page when the customer already runs Domino A-series habits or wants that service ecosystem. Published highlights include a 304 stainless-steel cabinet, sealed-nozzle print head, automatic viscosity control, and printing up to four lines. The page also notes sealed cartridges for fluid replenishment, Ethernet and USB connectivity, and a membrane control panel with an optional 10.4" colour touch screen on some models.
A published parameter table on the same page lists items such as 1–4 printing lines, maximum printing speed 300 metres/minute, word height 1.2–15 mm, and print-head to object distance 2–15 mm. Treat table values as the published reference for that listing family. Still confirm the exact unit’s configuration, software state, and accessories on video.
Linx path — Ultima MIDI / 7900 class
Open the Refurbished Linx Ultima MIDI 7900 CIJ Printer page when the buyer wants a Linx 7900-class machine that the listing describes as running on standard Linx inks and make-up, with filters, pumps, and other spare parts widely available. Published table notes on that page include 1–3 printing lines, maximum printing speed 7.28 m/s, word height 1.4–10.7 mm, and print-head to object distance 2–15 mm.
Confirm fluid pairing with the customer’s current Linx ink and make-up codes before promising drop-in behaviour. Compatible fluids elsewhere on cijinkjet.com are pairing references, not a licence to mix unrelated OEM bottles.
Markem-Imaje path — 9030 and 9020 class
Two live listings matter for many Imaje dealers:
- Refurbished Markem-Imaje 9030 CIJ Printer — published description includes up to 8 lines, speeds up to 5.5 m/s, automatic nozzle cleaning, and Jet Speed Control language. The page calls out a discontinued classic with easy-to-find consumables.
- Used Markem-Imaje 9020 CIJ Printer — published notes include a mono-jet printhead, up to 4 lines, print speed up to 4.4 m/s, character height 1.8–8.7 mm, and consumable examples such as 9175 black ink and A188 additive. The page also states equivalence to the 9018 model for parts and support context.
Buying checklist — evidence to demand before PO
Use this list for every Domino / Linx / Imaje unit:
- Exact identity — brand, model, serial, hours display if the unit shows one, and whether the sale label is refurbished or used.
- Photo set — cabinet, print head, umbilical, screen/keypad, fluid bay, and any damage.
- Test video — start-up, clean print on a sample substrate, and shutdown behaviour.
- Accessories list — stand, encoder, photocell, spare head, cables, and manuals actually included.
- Fluid plan — ink and make-up codes the unit is set up for, plus which compatible or OEM fluids the buyer will run.
- Service reality — who installs, who trains, and what after-sales scope MufengTech confirms in writing.
- Commercial terms — price and lead time on request; do not invent stock or warranty hour numbers that the page does not publish.
The category page currently lists nine refurbished/used CIJ printers, including Domino, Linx, Markem-Imaje, Hitachi, Citronix, Leibinger, Willett, and Videojet-family units. Stay inside the Domino / Linx / Imaje shortlist for this buying path unless the customer explicitly widens the brand set.
What not to invent in dealer quotes
Public refurbished pages reviewed for this article do not justify inventing:
- Guaranteed remaining print-head life or pump life hours.
- A universal warranty duration beyond whatever is confirmed in the written quote for that unit.
- Same-day stock promises.
- Brand-authorised service status.
- Automatic compatibility with every ink bottle that shares a brand name.
If a number is not on the product page or in the written offer for the exact serial, leave it out.
Pair the machine shortlist with consumables carefully
After the machine path is chosen, open the matching fluid family on CIJ inks & solvents and confirm the printer model plus current fluid codes with MufengTech. Brand-compatible fluids are pairing references. They are not permission to mix make-up from one family into another ink without confirmation.

Ask for the exact unit’s photos, test video, accessory list, and written commercial terms. Until that pack arrives, keep the dealer quote marked as a shortlist, not a firm machine promise.
FAQ: Refurbished Domino, Linx and Markem-Imaje CIJ buying checklist
Are refurbished Domino / Linx / Imaje printers brand-authorised units?
No authorisation is claimed on the reviewed pages. Brand names identify the original manufacturer of the used or refurbished equipment.
Can I skip the test video if the catalogue photos look clean?
No. The product pages themselves tell buyers to ask for photos or a test video of the exact unit because condition and accessories differ.
Is the Markem-Imaje 9020 the same offer as the 9030?
No. They are separate listings with different published capabilities and sale labels (used 9020 vs refurbished 9030). Shortlist from the customer’s line and consumable plan.
Where do I compare refurbished against buying new?
