A few important things to consider when choosing a wide formatprinter, copier orPosted by will lazar on July 7th, 2017 The copier industry is all about introducing new copiers. Oftentimes, a copier might even be updated or replaced in a manufacturer's product line more than once a year, bypassing the hundreds of thousands of used copiers such as used Xerox or Canon copiers freely available on the open market. Why does the copier industry do this, pushing new models when there are plenty of service able used copiers? We'll address why these manufacturers of monochrome and color copiers do this in the remainder of this article below. 1. Manufacturers Don't Make Money on Used CopiersThe truth is, manufacturers simply don't make any money on used copiers. They might make money off of toner or ink cartridges for the used machines, but there is no money for manufacturers in the market exchange of used copiers. This cuts into the manufacturer's bottom line, which is why manufacturers are happy to push newer models as an alternative to used copiers. Whether HP, Lexmark, Xerox, Brother, or even Canon copiers, these manufacturers don't make money selling used copiers. 2. New Copiers Are Not Better Than Used CopiersBeware of the myth put forth by manufacturers that new is always better than used. Oftentimes used copiers have capabilities that closely match newer versions, so don't be tricked into buying new when you can purchase perfectly serviceable used copiers. Technology moves fast, but not as fast as the manufacturers would lead you to believe. Has paper and toner really changed that much in the last 15 years? Do you really need a new copier?
