When we first started Canada Copier Remarketing Corp in Mississauga nearly three decades ago, we thought we’d see brands come and go like fashion trends. Yet here we are in 2025, and Xerox copiers still dominate our warehouse—and our customers’ hearts. Last month alone, 7 out of 10 used copier machines we sold were Xerox models. Why? The answer might surprise you.
After 28+ years as your trusted GTA photocopier supplier, we’ve tested, serviced, and sold thousands of machines. From our humble beginnings to serving 100+ satisfied local businesses across Toronto, Markham, Vaughan, Brampton, Oakville, and Mississauga, we’ve learned one thing: Xerox consistently delivers value that other brands simply can’t match in the used copier market.
Aamir Nawaz, our founder, often tells the story of our first refurbished photocopier—a Xerox WorkCentre that we bought skeptically in 1997. That machine is still running in a Brampton law office today. That’s 28 years of reliable service from a machine we initially thought was past its prime.
Today, we’re sharing five surprising reasons why Xerox copiers continue to rule the refurbished photocopier market, backed by real-world data from our Mississauga office equipment warehouse and honest insights from our after-sale service experiences.
In our warehouse, we run stress tests on every used copier machine before it earns our CCR warranty. We simulate high-volume printing, extreme temperature changes (crucial for Toronto winters), and continuous operation cycles. Xerox copiers consistently outperform competitors by 30-40% in these tests.
Last winter, we tested a 2018 Xerox WorkCentre 3335 against a similar-aged Canon model. After 10,000 test pages in sub-zero warehouse conditions, the Xerox maintained consistent print quality while the Canon developed feed issues. This isn’t a one-off experience—it’s a pattern we’ve documented across hundreds of machines.
The secret lies in Xerox’s engineering philosophy. Where other manufacturers focus on initial purchase price, Xerox designs for longevity. Their drum assemblies, for instance, use hardened metal components that we’ve seen last 2-3 times longer than plastic alternatives used by competitors.
We’ve tracked machines in our client offices across the GTA. A Xerox VersaLink C405 we placed in a busy Vaughan accounting firm three years ago has processed over 150,000 pages with only routine toner replacement. The comparable models from other brands typically require major service interventions by the 100,000-page mark.
Pro Tip: When inspecting a used Xerox copier, check the page counter. If it’s under 200,000 pages, you’re likely looking at a machine with years of reliable service ahead—something we guarantee with our CCR warranty.
Here’s where Xerox truly shines in the refurbished photocopier market. After nearly three decades in business, we’ve built relationships with parts suppliers across North America. Xerox maintains the most comprehensive parts inventory of any manufacturer we work with.
Last month, a client in Toronto needed an urgent repair on their 2015 WorkCentre. We had the replacement fuser unit in our Mississauga warehouse within 24 hours. When we needed similar parts for a comparable Konica Minolta model, the wait time was three weeks—and the part cost 40% more.
Parts availability directly impacts our ability to provide same-day service. With Xerox copiers, we can stock commonly needed components because we know they’ll work across multiple model years. This translates to faster repairs and lower costs for our clients.
Our service records show that Xerox repairs average 2.3 hours from call to completion, while other brands average 4.7 hours. For a busy Toronto law firm or Markham medical practice, that difference in downtime is significant.
Note: We maintain a $50,000 inventory of Xerox parts specifically because of this reliability. It’s an investment that pays dividends in customer satisfaction and after-sale service excellence.

When energy-efficient copiers became a priority for businesses, we expected newer brands to lead the charge. Instead, Xerox models consistently rank among the most efficient machines in our testing. Even their older models often outperform newer competitors.
We installed power monitoring equipment in a Oakville client’s office to track their 2019 Xerox WorkCentre 6515 over six months. The results were remarkable: 23% lower energy consumption than the Ricoh model it replaced, despite handling 15% more monthly volume.
Based on our Toronto hydro rates, that Oakville client saves approximately $340 annually on electricity costs alone. Multiply that across the machine’s expected 7-year lifespan, and the energy-efficient operation saves over $2,300—enough to cover several years of toner replacement costs.
Xerox achieves this efficiency through intelligent sleep modes and LED fusing technology. Their machines can wake from sleep mode in under 10 seconds while consuming less than 1 watt in standby—specs we’ve verified in our own testing facility.
Caution: While newer Xerox models excel in energy efficiency, machines manufactured before 2016 may not meet current Energy Star standards. Always ask us about energy ratings when considering older used copier machines.
Training costs are often overlooked when calculating total ownership costs. Through feedback from our client base across Toronto, Brampton, and Vaughan, we’ve learned that Xerox copiers require 60% less training time than comparable models from other manufacturers.
The consistency of Xerox’s interface design means that staff familiar with one model can quickly adapt to newer or different Xerox machines. A receptionist at a Markham dental office told us, “I learned the new Xerox in five minutes because it works just like our old one, but with more features.”
We regularly demonstrate different brands to prospective clients. Xerox touchscreen interfaces consistently receive the highest usability ratings. Their colour-coded menu system and intuitive workflow design reduce user errors by an average of 40% compared to Canon’s more complex menu structures.
The duplex printing setup on Xerox models, for example, requires two taps on the screen. Similar functionality on a Ricoh model requires navigating through three sub-menus. For businesses printing hundreds of two-sided documents daily, this efficiency adds up to significant time savings.
Pro Tip: When evaluating used copier machines, test the user interface yourself. If you can’t figure out basic functions within 30 seconds, your staff will struggle too. Xerox’s intuitive design consistently passes this “30-second test.”
Here’s a surprising insight from our Mississauga office equipment warehouse: Xerox copiers retain 15-20% more value than comparable models from other manufacturers. This matters whether you’re buying or eventually upgrading.
Our records show that a three-year-old Xerox WorkCentre typically sells for 45-50% of its original price, while similar Canon or Sharp models sell for 35-40%. This higher resale value provides built-in investment protection that many businesses overlook.
We track depreciation rates across all brands in our inventory. Xerox models depreciate at approximately 12% annually, compared to 15-18% for other major brands. For a business planning to upgrade in 4-5 years, this difference can mean thousands of dollars in retained value.
The reason? Market demand for used Xerox copiers remains consistently high due to their reputation for reliability and parts availability. We often have waiting lists for popular models like the WorkCentre 3335 or VersaLink C405.
Note: When considering lease plans vs. purchase, factor in resale value. Xerox’s superior value retention often makes purchasing more attractive than leasing, especially for established businesses with stable printing needs.
Based on our experience serving Toronto SMB printing needs, these WorkCentre models consistently deliver exceptional value:
WorkCentre 3335: Perfect for small offices (20-35 pages per minute), excellent duplex printing, compact footprint ideal for Toronto’s smaller office spaces. We’ve placed dozens of these in Markham and Vaughan accounting practices.
WorkCentre 5875: High-volume champion (75 pages per minute), built for law firms and medical practices. The unit we installed in a Brampton legal office has processed over 300,000 pages without major service.
WorkCentre 6515: Colour specialist with professional-grade output. Popular with marketing agencies and design firms across Toronto.
The VersaLink series offers the perfect balance of features and cost-effective printing solutions:
VersaLink C405: Our most popular refurbished photocopier, combining colour and black-and-white efficiency. Excellent for businesses transitioning from separate printer/copier setups.
VersaLink B7035: High-speed monochrome powerhouse. We’ve seen these machines handle 200+ pages daily in busy Toronto offices without breaking stride.
Even reliable Xerox copiers occasionally experience paper jams. Here’s our field-tested approach:
Pro Tip: 80% of paper jams result from improper paper loading or using paper outside manufacturer specifications. Always check paper weight and size settings.
Toner replacement on Xerox models is straightforward, but proper technique extends cartridge life:
Caution: Never force cartridges into place. If a cartridge doesn’t slide in easily, check for protective packaging or incorrect orientation.
While Xerox copiers are reliable, some issues require professional attention:
Our same-day service covers all these scenarios across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and Oakville.
Every Xerox machine in our inventory undergoes rigorous testing:
