The Smart Choice: Why Investing in a Used Printer Could Be Right for Your Business
Published By: Eric Johannson | Tue Jan 07, 2025
Printers are often an essential investment in equipping your office with the tools it needs to operate efficiently. But with so many options available, it’s worth asking: Does a brand-new printer always make the most sense? Choosing a used printer can offer tremendous benefits for many businesses without compromising quality.
Here are some key reasons why a used printer/copier from Carlyle might be the perfect fit for your office.
- Devices are fully refurbished and guaranteed by Carlyle
- Cost savings
- Sustainable and Reliable
- Immediate availability
- Product versatility
Let’s dive into the benefits of investing in pre-loved equipment.
Fully Refurbished and Guaranteed by Carlyle
When purchasing used equipment of any kind, the first question that most people have is about reliability. Not all used devices are created equally, so Carlyle only sells used equipment with a low total page count (lots of life left) that our certified, factory-trained technicians have refurbished.
For larger models, Carlyle also offers the additional peace of mind of a 3-year service contract. We fully cover all costs of service, parts, and labour under one easy cost per page. Your costs are locked in!
More Value for Less Cost
Cost savings are among the most compelling reasons to consider used printers. High-quality, enterprise-grade printers often come with a steep price tag when purchased new. By opting for a used model, businesses can access the same performance and features for a fraction of the price. This means you can allocate those saved resources toward other areas of growth or innovation within your organization.
Consider this: a reliable, refurbished printer from a trusted seller can cost up to 50% less than its brand-new counterpart. That’s a significant saving, especially for small businesses or startups working within tight budgets.
A Reliable and Sustainable Option
Used equipment isn’t just about saving money—it’s also a smart choice for sustainability. By purchasing a pre-owned printer, you are:
- Extending the life of a piece of equipment that might otherwise end up in a landfill.
- Reducing electronic waste
- Supporting a circular economy.
Think of it as giving a trusted tool a second chance. Reputable sellers carefully inspect and refurbish used printers to ensure they meet performance standards. When you purchase from a trusted provider, you can be confident that the printer is reliable and ready to meet your business needs.
Immediate Availability and Tried-and-True Models
Picture this: your office has just expanded, and you need to equip your new space quickly. Waiting weeks for a new printer to arrive simply isn’t an option. Used printers are typically ready for immediate pickup or delivery, making them an excellent choice for businesses on a tight timeline.
Used printers also offer the advantage of being “tried-and-true” models. These are machines that have a proven track record of durability and performance. You can read reviews and rely on the experiences of other users to help inform your decision, ensuring you’re choosing a model known for its reliability.
Versatility for Diverse Needs
Investing in a used printer doesn’t mean settling for less. It’s about finding the right solution for your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for a compact model for a home office or a heavy-duty workhorse for high-volume printing, the used market offers a wide range of options.
To maximize your investment, work with a seller who understands your business needs and can provide transparent information about the equipment’s history and condition. A trusted provider can help you make an informed decision and ensure you get the best value.
Final Thoughts
Choosing a used printer is a practical and resourceful way to equip your business while staying within budget. It’s an investment in performance, sustainability, and smart financial management. By exploring the possibilities of used equipment, you may find that the perfect printer for your business is closer—and more affordable—than you think.
So, next time you’re in the market for a new printer, pause and consider the used options. Imagine how those saved dollars and immediate availability could enhance your operations. You might be surprised at the value and reliability waiting for you in the pre-owned market.
