\nA unique identification code (serial number) is assigned, and a technical record is opened.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nInternal and external surfaces are carefully inspected where required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nJet precision and continuity are analyzed (when possible), followed by initial print tests and evaluation of operational parameters.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nInk, adhesive, or other residues are removed using specialized solutions, including ultrasonic cleaning.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\nPartial results are shared with the client.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
