Buy, sell, and source printing equipment — directly, no agent

Everything you need to get going on Print Exchange. Free to browse, list, and message. Sign in with your work email and a one-time code — no passwords.

01Creating your account

No passwords — sign in with your work email and a one-time code sent to your inbox.

  1. Enter your work email — click Log in, fill Work email, then Send verification code.
  2. Enter the 6-digit code — it arrives within seconds; request a new one if it expires.
  3. First time? Add company details — company name, your name, phone, and city. Returning members skip straight through.

Why no password? Harder to phish, nothing to store or forget.

02Finding what you need

Open Browse Marketplace to see every active listing. Filter by category or condition, and sort by newest or price.

Printing MachinesOffset, digital, flexo, screen, wide-format, label presses
Paper & SubstratesReels, sheets, boards, speciality stock by GSM/size

Plates & ConsumablesCTP plates, blankets, rollers, press consumables
Post-Press EquipmentCutters, folders, laminators, binders, finishing
Service & AMCTechnicians, AMCs, installation and repair
Software & ITPrint MIS/ERP, prepress and workflow tools

Every card shows the price (or Price on request), condition, and city up front.

03Searching in plain language

Describe what you're after in your own words — for example:

used 4-color offset press in Gujarat category + condition + location
dead stock paper under ₹2 lakh price constraints in plain text
AMC for digital press in Mumbai finds services, not just machines

Results are ranked by relevance with a short explanation. Ask follow-ups like “any cheaper ones?” and it narrows your last search instead of starting over — it reads the live catalogue, not a fixed index.

04Posting a listing

Post a Listingfrom the top nav (login required). It's free.

  1. Category & subcategory — decides which spec fields you fill next.
  2. Title & description — name the brand/model/spec, e.g. “Heidelberg SM 74, 4-color, 2018.”
  3. Technical specifications — what buyers filter and search on.
  4. Condition, location, price — New/Used/Refurbished; leave price blank for “on request.”
  5. Photos & publish — goes live immediately in the marketplace and search.

Edit, mark sold, or remove your listings any time from My Account.

05Contacting a printer

Use the Contact printer box on any listing to message directly — no broker, no lead fee, no routed calls.

A printer's contact details stay private until you're verified and logged in, keeping conversations inside the platform with a record of what was agreed.

06Using your messages

The message icon in the top nav opens a side panel — a dot means something's unread.

Hover your own message to delete it — it's replaced with “This message was deleted”for both sides, WhatsApp-style. This can't be undone, and you can only delete your own messages.

Keep it professional — abusive language is blocked automatically before it sends.

07Managing your account

My Account updates your company/contact name, phone, city, and buying/selling preference. Your listings and message history live here too.

08Common questions

Any commission on deals?

No — listing and messaging are free; price, payment, and delivery are negotiated directly.

Didn't get my code?

Check spam first, then request a new verification code. If email is briefly down, the code shows on screen.

Can I edit a listing after publishing?

Yes, from My Account — you can also mark it sold or remove it.

What about unprofessional messages?

Abusive language is auto-filtered before it sends. Contact our team for anything else, with details.

Is my phone number public?

No — only verified, logged-in members see contact details, and messaging never exposes your number.

Still stuck?

Our team is a call or message away.
