When you start a business or are in need of a printing machine, the first thought is to get a new one. It’s all shiny and new but it has a weighty price tag; not to mention the cost of the accompanying toner cartridges. There is a more cost effective alternative, namely refurbished printing machines. Here are the benefits of using refurbished printing machines in your business.

First of all, it is cost effective. This type of machine has been previously used and has been restored to an almost new condition. It functions as well as a new unit, but it costs much less because it is used and refurbished. A new unit will cost you thousands especially if you need a large unit that can handle a large number of prints per day. Don’t consider buying a home printer if you have a business with a lot of staff. The home printer is designed to handle a small number of prints per week and will not be able to cope with the daily print runs. After a couple months, you’ll have to replace it because it would be used beyond its capacity. You need to get a printer that can handle a large print capacity for a business. Although, it is recommended that you train your staff to print as little as possible to avoid wasting paper and toner ink as this also increases their carbon footprint.

Refurbished printing machines are a means of recycling. The used unit is not discarded instead it is saved and repurposed. This is a great way to extend the life span of this unit. Investing in a refurbished unit means that you are saving it from the landfill and minimising its carbon footprint. If you and a fellow business owner each purchase a refurbished printing machine, that leads to two less printing machines on the landfill. Imagine all those printer parts that you’ve saved from the abyss of garbage. In addition, it means that two fewer printing machines are being manufactured.

Refurbished printing machines are a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way of doing business. They can handle the same amount of workload as a new unit because it is fully restored. It lowers your costs and it saves the environment one unit at a time. Next time you need to get a printer, consider a one of these machines for your business.
