warranty after the initial warranty expires. 
We will try to complete remote service as quickly as possible,
(callbacks typically within 6 hours). We are not responsible for delays caused
by factors beyond our control, including but not limited to manufacturer’s
delays, shipping to a regional service facility, or acts of God. Our support

3. LIMITED WARRANTY

CobraFlex warrants to
the Original Purchaser of the machine against defects in material and
workmanship, except for wear and tear, and except for consumable parts for “One
or Two Years” from the date of original purchase. During the warranty period,
we will substitute, repair, or, at our option, replace any parts covered by the
limited warranty. The limited warranty covers 1 print head prorated for 12
months from the m date of installation. 
For example, if your machine is installed on January 1, 2022, you will
have until December 31, 2022, for one print head to be replaceable at a
prorated amount.  The one print head will
be prorated per month from the install date. 
Please contact CobraFlex for the prorated amount based on your model
print head. The bad print head and any replaced parts covered by the warranty must
be returned to CobraFlex at the customer’s expense within 30 days of the
replacement head or parts being sent out. 
If the customer does not return the print head or parts, they will be
responsible for the entire retail cost of the replacement print head or parts.  The one-prorated print head will be sent out
to the customer via ground shipping at no cost. 
  Any additional print heads are not covered
under the warranty.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

The Wet Cap and
cleaning procedure must be used on a daily basis. 

The print head is
replaceable once for the first year and coverage ends after 12 (twelve) months.

 Full tests on the
print head will be conducted and if it’s deemed it’s clogged because of
improper maintenance or use or head strike damage, the customer will be
responsible for the expenses related to repairing. 

The limited warranty

dampers, filters, sensors,
valves, pump/capping stations, ink, ink lines, ink train, encoder strip head

head is damaged by the result of the head surface hitting the media. The
limited warranty does not cover or provide service support for any defects or
damages or failure to the printer or any of its components, or accessories ET
all, caused by or resulting from: 

    1. If you will have
extended downtime of over 1  week then you must completely flush the
printer and leave the cleaning solution in the ink path. Although the use of
the wet cap system prevents the print head from drying and clogging. The ink
has inherent pigments that start to settle all through the printer over time.
It is in your best interest to contact us and completely flush out your printer
if it will be unused or for more than 2 weeks. Failure to flush out your
printer will be considered neglect and Improper or inadequate maintenance which
is not covered under any warranty.

media, ink, supplies, and other products.

third-party supplied software, interfacing, or supplies.

of your computer system to adequately run the machine.

    10. Operators not
