New or refurbished receipt printers: Your Buying Guide!
Receipt printers from Epson, Citizen, and Wincor are among the market’s top choices for a reliable and fast cashier service. These three well-established names in receipt printing have built a strong reputation, thanks to their exceptionally durable products.
For any business looking to invest in a long-term, efficient computer system, Epson, Citizen, and Wincor receipt printers are a significant asset. Whether it’s the latest new generation or a refurbished or used version, your choice of thermal printer will have operational, environmental, and economic impacts.
So, the key is to identify which generation of equipment suits your needs!
When should you opt for reconditioned receipt printers?
In certain contexts, buying refurbished Epson, Citizen, or Wincor receipt printers will align better with your logistical or technical requirements.
If you’re considering a renewal of your IT equipment fleet, the refurbished option has its advantages.
Choosing refurbished printers allows you to maintain a homogeneous fleet for a longer period, thus extending the lifespan of your equipment and streamlining depreciation.
Opting for refurbished printers also simplifies your operations: by selecting the same equipment deployed in your stores, you streamline the installation of hardware, its operational maintenance, and its use by the cashier teams.
Refurbished POS printers are also more budget-friendly than their new counterparts. This solution should better fit your budget constraints. At Codeo, we’ve calculated that purchasing refurbished equipment can save you between 25% and 75%.
Buying used receipt printers also reduces the environmental impact of your operations. Integrating refurbishment into your business strategy makes it easier to achieve your environmental goals. Acquiring equipment from reuse reduces CO2 emissions by 80% compared to new purchases. In other words, you significantly reduce your company’s environmental footprint. A refurbished and eco-friendly receipt printer: a perfect solution to enhance your CSR performance.
Refurbished, yes! But with the same level of service as new!
At Codeo, we pay special attention to the quality of our products and associated warranties. All our refurbished IT equipment comes with warranties that can extend up to 5 years, depending on the products. Our goal is to offer refurbished equipment that meets the same standards as new equipment.
When should you buy a new receipt printer?
However, certain professional situations justify the purchase of new equipment. Buying new equipment makes sense, especially if you want to completely renew your fleet of receipt printers because the existing equipment no longer meets your needs.
New equipment benefits from manufacturer quality control, several years of manufacturer warranty with return-to-workshop service, and, if necessary, quick availability of spare parts.
Investing in new point of sale printers also allows you to take advantage of the latest updates for each model. There’s no need to reprogram all your printers using suitable software; everything is ready to use.
Before making your choice, you should weigh the pros and cons of each option.
In the case of Epson receipt printers, for example, the latest models like the Epson TMH6000V offer enhanced features (printing speed, connectivity, etc.), but its predecessor, the Epson TMH6000IV, remains a viable and environmentally friendly alternative for the majority of distribution and retail professionals.
Buy back your old Epson professional printers for new ones
Do you have a large fleet of receipt printers to replace? Is your point of sale equipment an expensive stock to store? You can resell these used POS printers.
Reselling old receipt printers allows you to generate revenue. This new budget helps offset the acquisition cost of your new Epson pro, Citizen, or Wincor printers. It finances the purchase of a fleet of new receipt printers without budgetary concerns.
By selling your old Epson, Citizen, or Wincor receipt printers, you also make your company environmentally responsible. Having your printer fleet taken over by a provider like Codeo means that your equipment will be refurbished. In other words, used equipment will be purchased instead of new thanks to you.
The ecological cost of your new printer purchase is thus partially offset by your contribution to the circular economy. This holds true even if the receipt printers in question belong to different product lines. We have been refurbishing printers for over 17 years, spanning all generations.
If it turns out that refurbishment is not possible, we will recover the parts for maintenance of other equipment or for recycling in compliance with WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) destruction standards. Even if your printers are defective, we can buy them. In such cases, our technical teams will audit them to provide you with a valuation based on their condition. We will then handle their uninstallation and transportation to make room for your new printers.
Choosing an Epson receipt printer, new or refurbished
At Codeo, we have observed over the years that Epson, Citizen, or Wincor printers stand out for their performance, innovation capabilities, and reliability, whether new or refurbished. We assist you in guiding your purchases and rentals of receipt printers, in their maintenance, or in the buyback programs that you can benefit from.
