Question by t2k4life: Tips on buying a second hand / refurbished A3 network printer?
Hi I’m looking to buy a used A3 network printer which comes with a 30 day guarantee, I want to know what I should look for and how I should check if its in good working order. Are there any tests I can do or check for any serious wear and tear etc?

Thanks

My best advice is don’t

By the time you purchase and install the consumable components you are at the cost of a new printer.

All printers come with a duty cycle. At the end of the duty cycled Various parts will fail requiring expensive servicing. The catch is there is no reliable way to determine how far into your duty cycle you are.

If you wish to save money, purchase your printer from a clearance center like tiger direct which offers last years models at discounted prices.
