The "Dirty Little Secret" - Lower Print Speed To Save Tons of Cash!
So, what is the drawback? Typically just the print speed, if anything at all. With each new year print speeds (pages per minute or "ppm") increases slightly over the last generation of printers.
But, is it worth it? The average print job is 7 pages or less. So, moving down from 62 ppm to 55 ppm will add less than one second to your print job! So...wait less than a second and save 32%, or pay a premium for that one second? You choose!

Refurbished Printers, Copiers and MFP's Are Green Too!
Another benefit to choosing refurbished printers and copiers is the fact that you are reusing existing equipment. Refurbished equipment is typically only a couple of years old (or less) and utilizes the latest technologies, just as the new units. Instead of buying a piece of new equipment, you can keep old units out of the landfills by buying refurbished!
