Second-hand photocopiers

The printing market is a vast market that offers a multitude of choices in terms of brands, performance, footprint, price and functionalities.

What is the difference between a second-hand photocopier and a reconditioned photocopier?

A second-hand photocopier is sold as is. It is a unique machine with its options, its meters, its wear and small defects of all kinds. The copier is obviously functional and complete in the sense that no consumables are missing. On the other hand, the latter are neither checked – apart from a copy test – nor changed in case of wear. It is therefore quite conceivable to have to change parts on a second-hand photocopier.

Conversely, reconditioned photocopiers benefit from more advanced tests, a complete change of all consumables and sometimes even a reset of the copy meters. When buying a reconditioned photocopier, you end up with a like-new copier. at a higher price than a used one.

A second-hand photocopier is on average 2 to 3 times cheaper, except for recent ranges which sell at a high price due to very high demand.
