Buy a New or Rebuilt Copier
Buying costs more upfront, but it's usually the cheaper option if you keep the copier for 5+ years, especially at high print volumes. We sell brand-new and certified rebuilt Canon copiers in Singapore.

Should you buy or lease?
Buy if you…
- have the budget upfront and someone to manage servicing
- want to avoid long-term contracts
- want the copier as a business asset
Lease if you…
- want to keep cash in the business instead of paying for equipment upfront
- prefer one predictable monthly bill with no surprise repair costs
- might need a bigger or smaller machine as your team changes
Brand new or rebuilt: what's the difference?
Short answer: a brand-new copier gives you the latest model, the longest lifespan and the full manufacturer warranty. A rebuilt copier is a quality-checked used machine that costs less, which makes it a smart choice for lighter use or tighter budgets.
Brand new
Straight from Canon, never used. You get the current model with the latest features, security updates and the full manufacturer warranty, plus the longest working life.
Rebuilt
A used copier, usually returned at the end of a lease, that our technicians inspect, clean, fit with new wear parts, update and test before resale. It is not the same as a "used, as-is" machine.
| Brand new | Rebuilt | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | More Costly | Cheaper |
| Condition | Never used | Used, restored and tested |
| Warranty | Manufacturer warranty | No warranty, but service provided at copy charge |
| Expected lifespan | Longest | Shorter, depends on page count |
| Latest features & security | Yes | Usually one generation older |
| Best for | Very high volume, latest tech | Light to medium use, tighter budgets, startups |
5 questions to ask before buying any rebuilt copier
- What's the page count? Like mileage on a car, it tells you how much life is left.
- Is the model still supported by Canon? Parts and toner should be easy to get for years.
- Which parts were replaced? Drums and fusers are the most important.
- Was the hard drive wiped? Copiers store copies of scanned documents.
- What warranty and service do I get? Get the response time in writing.
Buying questions
Is it cheaper to buy or rent a copier in Singapore?
Renting is cheaper in the first few years because there is no upfront cost. Buying usually becomes cheaper if you keep the copier for 5 years or more, especially at high print volumes, because you stop paying a rental margin and only pay for toner and servicing.
What is a rebuilt copier?
A rebuilt copier is a used machine, usually returned at the end of a lease, that has been inspected, cleaned, fitted with new wear parts, updated, tested and wiped of old data before resale. It is not the same as a used copier sold as-is.
How long does an office copier last?
An office copier typically lasts around 5 years, or longer with regular servicing. Lifespan depends mostly on how many pages it prints each month and how well it is maintained.
Do you service copiers you sell?
Yes. We provide servicing at copy charge for 5 years from the point of sale.
