A set of used or refurbished computer printers can cost your small business much less than a set of brand new printers. Used computer printers will often perform and appear in the same condition as new printers.
When you buy used printers, you’ll have to take some precautions. You want to still rely on an established brand as well as make sure you’re protected under a strong warranty in the case of breakage.
1. Compare used and refurbished printers. A refurbished printer starts out as a used printer prior to going through a company’s refurbishment process.
2. Find used and refurbished printers for sale. After you decide the type that you wish to buy, go online to order your refurbished and used business printers.
3. Save a significant amount of money when you purchase refurbished and used computer printers. You’ll want to look at the prices of new models to make sure you’re saving money prior to making your final purchase.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Check out used laser printers
Many used business printers come from corporate leasing and other types of programs. Most of the laser printers sold as used will work perfectly without the need to replace any parts.
I recommend: Look through the catalog of printers found on the
UsedPrinters.com website. The website also runs specials on used printers and parts that can save you a lot of money. If you want more of a product guarantee, you may want to buy one of the used and certified printers offered by the
XEROX Corporation. Since you’re purchasing directly from the manufacturer, you’re ensuring that the used computer printers have gone through reconditioning to check for any problems.
Look at refurbished printers for sale
If you're unsure about the reliability of used printers, then consider refurbished business printers instead. You can find all major brands of computer printers, including Hewlett Packard, Canon, Brother, and Epson, refurbished and priced for resale.
I recommend: To find a wide selection of refurbished computer printers, browse the inventory on
Super Warehouse. You’ll find top brands at a discounted price after going through the refurbishment process. If you don’t find a brand or model you like on that site, go to the
PrinterWarehouse.com for more selection.
Buy printers used and refurbished through business to business trading sites
Through a business to business trading site, you can find refurbished and used printers on a nominal fee. Businesses post listings advertising their used printers and allow buyers to contact them directly in order to get great deals.
I recommend: On the
RecycleNet Corporation site, you get to search for businesses with refurbished and used printers available for retail. Look at the ads found here can help you buy direct. Find similar listings on
TradeKey.com after completing a free registration form.
