Returning Product
Limited 30-day return policy on StudioJet™ Commercial Color CD/DVD Autoprinter

What is the factory policy? Recordex will not accept any returned printers if the ink cartridges have been installed. Once
the printer has been opened and ink cartridges have been installed the user agrees to keep the printer and the 30-day
refund policy is voided. If there is a manufacturer defect with your printer we will make sure that your printer is repaired
or replaced, at our discretion, during the first 12-months of ownership.
