Problem
A machine can be installed and still fail real production.
Supplier demos do not prove production readiness. Acceptance must test real files, materials, speed, color, adhesion, curing, RIP and operator handover.
Acceptance risk
Printing equipment acceptance risk before final sign-off.
Acceptance risk appears when installation status is treated as production readiness. The owner needs measurable evidence before final payment or handover.
- Acceptance criteria before sign-off
- Evidence pack for vendor discussion
- Risk map before final payment
SymptomsDecision point
When this matters
- Final payment or sign-off is near
- The supplier says installation is complete
- Operators already see unstable results
- Acceptance criteria were not defined before purchase
InspectionEvidence

- Supplier claims
- Test files
