Every month, we talk to GTA business owners who are shocked by their equipment costs. A brand-new copier can easily cost $15,000 to $25,000, and that doesn’t even include the hidden fees, maintenance contracts, or interest charges that come with traditional leasing. Meanwhile, your printing needs haven’t changed, but your budget keeps shrinking.
Here’s what most Mississauga and Toronto businesses don’t realize: you can get the exact same performance, features, and reliability for 50-70% less. We’re talking about refurbished copiers in Mississauga that deliver enterprise-grade capabilities without the enterprise price tag.
We’ve spent over 25 years helping businesses across Ontario slash their printing budgets, and we’ve seen firsthand how used office copiers Toronto companies rely on perform just as well as brand-new models. In fact, many of our clients wish they’d made the switch years earlier.
In this guide, we’re breaking down five concrete ways refurbished copiers GTA businesses use every day save serious money. Whether you’re running a small startup or managing a large office, these strategies will change how you think about office equipment.

Before we dive into the savings, let’s clear up a common misconception. When we say “refurbished copiers,” we’re not talking about beaten-up machines that barely work. There’s a world of difference between “used,” “refurbished,” and “new.”
A refurbished copier has been professionally restored to meet or exceed original manufacturer specifications. At our Mississauga facility, every refurbished copier that comes through our doors undergoes a rigorous 47-point inspection process. We’re talking about complete diagnostic testing, replacement of worn components, thorough cleaning, and performance verification.
Here’s what happens in our warehouse: Our technicians test every function, from print quality to scanning accuracy. We replace drums, rollers, and any parts showing wear. We update firmware and ensure all security features work properly. By the time a refurbished copier leaves our facility, it performs exactly like a new machine because we’ve essentially rebuilt it to factory standards.
The difference? You pay a fraction of the new price.
Every one of our used copiers with warranty comes backed by our comprehensive 12-month parts and labour guarantee. We stand behind our work because we know these machines will perform. In fact, we use refurbished copiers in our own Mississauga office, and so do hundreds of businesses across the GTA.

Let’s start with the most obvious savings: the purchase price. This is where refurbished copiers GTA businesses choose really shine, and the numbers are genuinely eye-opening.
Consider the Konica Minolta bizhub C458, one of the most popular colour copiers for mid-sized offices. Brand new, you’re looking at $12,000 to $15,000. A refurbished Konica Minolta bizhub C458 from our inventory? Between $3,500 and $5,500. That’s a savings of $8,500 or more, which represents a 60-70% reduction in upfront costs.
We recently worked with a law firm in Mississauga that needed three copiers for different departments. They were quoted $36,000 for three new units. Instead, they chose three refurbished Ricoh copiers from our inventory for $14,000 total. That’s $22,000 they kept in their operating budget, money they used to hire an additional paralegal.
Here’s what makes this even better: you’re not sacrificing features or performance. The only difference is the price tag.
For businesses watching cash flow, this matters enormously. Instead of tying up $15,000 in a single piece of equipment, you could buy two or three refurbished copiers, equip multiple departments, and still have money left over for other priorities.

Here’s something most businesses don’t think about until it’s too late: depreciation. The moment you buy a brand-new copier, it starts losing value. Fast.
Industry data shows that new office equipment loses 40-50% of its value within the first two years. Let’s do the math. You spend $15,000 on a new copier today. In 24 months, it’s worth maybe $7,500 to $9,000. That’s a $6,000 to $7,500 loss, and you haven’t even paid off the lease yet.
This matters more than you might think. For businesses that regularly upgrade equipment or those that might need to sell assets during restructuring, depreciation represents real money walking out the door.
Refurbished copiers solve this problem elegantly. The major depreciation already happened to the previous owner. When you buy used copiers from us, you’re buying at or near the bottom of the depreciation curve. The machine’s value stays relatively stable throughout your ownership.
Not every business wants to pay cash upfront, and we get that. Cash flow is king, especially for growing companies. That’s where leasing makes sense, but here’s the catch: leasing costs are directly tied to equipment price.
A $15,000 copier costs more to lease than a $5,000 one. Sounds obvious, right? But the difference over a 48-month lease is genuinely staggering.
Let’s break down a real-world example using the Xerox AltaLink C8135, a high-performance colour copier perfect for busy offices.

Your savings: $11,280 over the lease term. That’s nearly a thousand dollars a month you could be investing in marketing, hiring, inventory, or anything else that actually grows your business.
We offer flexible leasing on all our refurbished copiers inventory. You can choose 24, 36, or 48-month terms depending on your needs. There are no balloon payments, no hidden fees, and no mandatory expensive service contracts bundled in.
And if you’re not ready to commit long-term? We have a rent-to-own option through our copiers for rent program. Try the equipment for a few months. If you love it, the rental payments can apply toward purchase. If your needs change, you’re not locked into a multi-year commitment.

Let’s address the elephant in the room. When people hear “refurbished copiers,” many immediately think: “That’s going to break down constantly, and repairs will eat up any savings.”
We’ve been in this business for over 25 years, and we can tell you with absolute certainty: that’s a myth.
Here’s the reality. Modern commercial copiers from brands like Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Sharp, and Canon are engineered to handle hundreds of thousands of copies. A well-maintained copier can easily run 300,000 to 500,000 copies or more before major components need replacement.
When we refurbish copiers, we’re typically working with machines that have 100,000 to 200,000 copies on them, meaning they have the majority of their lifespan still ahead. We replace worn parts, update firmware, and ensure every system functions properly. What you get is essentially a “reset” machine with plenty of life left.
Every single one of our used copiers with warranty comes with comprehensive 12-month parts and labour coverage throughout the GTA. If something goes wrong (and honestly, it rarely does), we fix it at no cost to you. Our Mississauga-based technicians typically respond within 24-48 hours, and most issues are resolved in a single visit.
Parts availability is never an issue. These are popular, mainstream models from major manufacturers. OEM parts are readily available, and for older models, we stock compatible parts that meet or exceed original specifications.
Here’s where things get really interesting. The features in a refurbished copier are identical to those in a new one. Same hardware, same software, same capabilities. But you’re paying 50-70% less.
Think about what that means. You can afford enterprise-grade features that would normally be out of reach on a tight budget. We’re talking about:
Take the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5740i as an example. Brand new, you’re looking at around $20,000. It’s an incredible machine: 40 pages per minute in colour, a massive 7-inch touchscreen, mobile printing, cloud integration, and professional finishing options.
Our refurbished price? Around $7,000. Same machine, same features, same performance. You just saved $13,000.
Here’s the business impact: With enterprise-grade equipment, you can compete with much larger companies. A small marketing agency in Toronto can produce the same quality materials as a big firm. A medical clinic can process patient paperwork as efficiently as a hospital. A law office can manage document workflows with the same tools as Bay Street firms.
You’re not compromising. You’re just being smarter with your budget.

With so many options available, how do you pick the right refurbished copier for your business? We walk every client through this process, but here’s a quick framework you can use:
Step 1: Assess Your Monthly Print Volume
Step 2: Determine Colour vs Black-and-White Needs If more than 20% of your printing is in colour, a colour copier makes sense. Otherwise, a black-and-white machine is more economical.
Step 3: Identify Required Features Do you need scanning? Faxing? Finishing (stapling, hole-punching)? Mobile printing? Make a list.
Step 4: Consider Space Constraints Measure your available space. We can recommend compact models if space is tight.
Step 5: Set Your Budget Be realistic about what you can afford, including ongoing costs like toner and maintenance.
Once you’ve thought through these questions, our Mississauga team can make specific recommendations from our inventory. We offer free needs assessments, and for GTA clients, we’re happy to visit your location to see your space and understand your workflow.
