Problem

A wrong machine purchase becomes a long production problem.

Supplier demonstrations rarely match your real order mix, materials, operators, RIP setup and точки контроля качества. The audit turns the purchase decision into measurable evidence.

FAQ

Can this be done before visiting the supplier?

Yes. The first pass can be remote using quotations, specifications, sample files, material list and expected job profile.

Do you replace the supplier acceptance test?

No. The audit defines what the acceptance test must prove and where the owner should not rely on generic demo output.

Acceptance risk Final sign-off is close?

Check whether the machine is ready for real jobs before acceptance becomes an internal production problem.
