Refurbished doesn’t mean second-rate. In fact, many businesses are discovering that certified refurbished copiers offer the same performance and reliability as new models, for a significantly lower price. So the big question is: should you consider one for your office?
Let’s take a closer look at the key benefits, what makes refurbished equipment a smart investment, and how brands like Canon are changing the game with premium, certified refurbished options.
The most obvious benefit of refurbished printers is the price tag. Depending on the model and features, you can save anywhere from 30% to 60% compared to a brand-new machine. That’s serious value, especially for small businesses, startups, and organizations operating under tight budget constraints.
But it’s not just about the savings. You’re still getting a high-performance device. Certified refurbished units are thoroughly inspected, restored, and tested by the manufacturer or authorized professionals to ensure they meet original specifications.
If you’re eyeing a feature-rich Canon device but balking at the full retail price, this route can help you get the copier you really want without overextending your budget.
A refurbished copier is not the same as a used one sold “as-is.” Certified refurbished machines go through a rigorous process that typically includes:
Once refurbished, these copiers are brought up to manufacturer standards. Many even come with a limited warranty or service plan for added peace of mind.
One of the most exciting perks of going the refurbished route? You can often afford a higher-end model than you would if buying new. That means access to features like:
Refurbished Canon printers, in particular, are known for offering impressive capabilities and robust build quality. If your team needs more than just the basics, a certified refurbished Canon could deliver enterprise-level performance at a fraction of the cost.
Choosing refurbished printers helps reduce environmental impact by giving high-performing machines a second life instead of sending them to a landfill. This conscious decision cuts down on waste, extends product use cycles, and minimizes the need for resource-heavy manufacturing processes.
The environmental upside includes:
Buying refurbished makes financial sense, as it aligns your brand with green values that customers and stakeholders increasingly care about. It’s a smart move for your budget and the planet.
All office equipment depreciates, but new machines lose the most value the fastest, just like a new car that drops in value as soon as it’s driven off the lot. When you invest in refurbished Canon printers, much of that initial depreciation has already happened.
This means:
For growing companies trying to stay nimble, that’s a financial win.
If you’re shopping for copiers or multifunction devices, Americom offers a full line of certified refurbished printers. We’ll help you find the right model for your workflow, your budget, and your future growth.
Still on the fence? Let’s address a few common questions and misconceptions:
Nope. Used equipment is typically sold as-is, with no guarantees. Refurbished machines are professionally restored, tested, and certified to meet like-new standards.
That’s why choosing a certified refurbished device from a trusted provider matters. Many come with warranties, service agreements, and ongoing support. You’re not alone if something needs attention.
Absolutely. Most refurbished models have up-to-date firmware and compatibility with the latest print drivers, cloud services, and operating systems.
Yes—and in many cases, better than a new budget model would. Since you’re often getting a higher-tier machine, your refurbished copier may include features and capacity that serve you well as your needs evolve.
