When in the market for a laser printer, there are two main options to consider: buy a new printer or purchase a refurbished printer. New printers come in fancy branded boxes, none of the parts have been used before, and they come with a manufacturer’s warranty…but are these really advantages? All of the components of a new laser printer, be it the casing, the circuit boards, the fuser, etc. are made from scratch. It takes a lot of raw materials and carbon emissions to make these items, and the assumption is that since everything is brand new, it should all work properly and without issue (which is true most of the time). That said, each individual part of a printer does not have to be new for the printer to work properly. This is why refurbished printers make sense for a lot of businesses in Greater Vancouver and the Okanagan.
