The different ColorID extended warranties can be purchased at any time, without evaluation of your printer if the printer is covered under a current Fargo or ColorID warranty.
If your printer is out of warranty, you will have to ship your printer to ColorID’s repair center. This allows ColorID to confirm your printer is in proper working condition and
is warrantable. During this evaluation, ColorID will perform a full tune-up on your printer. If you decide to purchase an extended warranty, we will discount the cost of the tune-up on your printer. If repairs need to be made, ColorID will contact you and make arrangements for the repair. After any necessary repairs, your printer will be eligible for an extended warranty.
