Photocopiers for sale from Camelott® include new and professionally prepared used A3 and A4 office copiers, printers and multifunction devices for businesses, schools and public sector organisations. We help you choose around real print and scan requirements, then support the machine with professional installation, in-house technical expertise, low mono and colour CPC rates and no minimum billing as standard.
Buying is not automatically the right answer. If leasing, renting or keeping your existing machine makes better commercial sense, we will tell you.
Own the equipment
Why Buy an Office Photocopier Outright?
Outright purchase can work well where an organisation has available capital, wants ownership and expects the equipment to remain suitable for several years.
- Immediate ownership. The equipment belongs to the purchaser rather than a finance provider.
- No long equipment-finance commitment. Purchase removes the need for a multi-year lease on the machine itself.
- Keep the copier for as long as it remains useful. There is no need to replace it simply because a finance term has ended.
- Choose service separately. Camelott® can provide maintenance and managed print support without forcing the equipment and service into one opaque package.
- New or used equipment. Buying professionally prepared used equipment can reduce capital cost significantly where the machine history and support life make sense.
Ownership does not automatically make a purchase cheaper than a lease. The correct comparison is equipment cost + service + CPC + expected usage + how long the machine is likely to remain suitable.
Choose condition as carefully as specification
New or Used Photocopier?
Both can be the right answer. The decision should reflect expected use, machine age, meter count, support life, budget and how long the organisation intends to keep the equipment.
Buy New
New equipment is appropriate where maximum support life, latest security, current software compatibility, reliability or a particular feature set justifies the higher capital cost.
Buy Professionally Prepared Used
Used equipment can provide excellent value when the age, meter count, previous environment, condition and remaining support life are suitable.
We do not treat “used” as a single condition. A low-meter office machine with a known history is commercially very different from a heavily used machine from a dusty, damp or industrial environment.
Considering used equipment?
Considering a Used Photocopier?
Used equipment can be a sensible option, but do not make the decision from the price, age or salesperson's description alone.
Check the actual machine's meter, history, previous environment, condition, remaining parts and software support, warranty and, if finance is involved, how old the machine will be when the agreement ends.
Be particularly cautious about descriptions such as “ex-demo”, “low mileage” or “you need to move quickly”. Those phrases are not evidence of condition or value. Ask for evidence and compare the offered machine with new and properly refurbished alternatives before committing.
This page is for choosing equipment that is available to buy. For detailed due diligence, use our Used Photocopier Buying Checklist. If a machine is being sold as refurbished, read what a meaningful refurbishment should actually include before comparing the price.

Do not pay for A3 if you never use it
A3 or A4 Photocopier?
One of the easiest ways to overspend is to replace an old A3 machine with another A3 machine without checking whether the organisation still produces A3 documents.
Choose A4 When...
The organisation mainly prints normal office documents, wants a smaller footprint and does not genuinely need larger paper handling.
Choose A3 When...
Users regularly produce plans, spreadsheets, posters, booklets, educational resources or documents that need A3 scanning/copying.
Pages per minute is only useful when it solves a queue
How Fast Does Your Photocopier Need to Be?
Faster machines normally cost more. The correct speed should be based on real monthly volume, job size and peak demand.
| Requirement | What to Look At | Buying Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Lower-volume office | Typical daily jobs, number of users, scan usage and A4/A3 need | Buying far more speed and capacity than users will ever need |
| Shared workgroup | Peak queues, paper capacity, scanning and finishing | Choosing only by headline ppm and ignoring workflow |
| High-volume department | Large jobs, daily duty, replenishment, output capacity and reliability | Under-sizing the machine and creating repeated queues or service pressure |
| Scanning-heavy team | ADF capacity, duplex scanning, destinations and file workflow | Paying for print speed while leaving scanning as the actual bottleneck |
A modern photocopier is also part of a document workflow
Do Not Ignore Scanning, Software & Workflow
Print quality problems are not always caused by the photocopier. Drivers, PDF software, scanning, image processing and the way documents are created can all affect what finally reaches the machine.
- Scan-to-email: configure a reliable route that matches the organisation's mail environment.
- Network folders: route documents to appropriate shared locations where required.
- Microsoft 365 and Google: compatible applications and workflows can be configured where appropriate.
- Print drivers: use the correct manufacturer driver and settings rather than assuming a generic driver will reproduce every document correctly.
- PDF rendering: different PDF applications can interpret transparency, layers, overlays and flattened content differently.
- Print queues: users can be set up around suitable shared, secure or departmental queues.
- Own infrastructure: Camelott® has its own print and scanning servers, including solutions to simplify scanning and print-queue management.
Real customer example
Two 75ppm Photocopiers. The Same Strange Print Defect. The Machines Were Not the Cause.
A long-standing Camelott® customer producing around 250,000 prints per month told us they were considering moving supplier because print quality had become poor and inconsistent. That was surprising because our engineer had been spending considerable time maintaining the machines and keeping them running correctly.
When we visited, the customer showed us pages with a square-shaped artefact appearing in the same position on output from both 75ppm Toshiba machines. That immediately made a normal copier-engine fault less likely. Two separate machines developing the same unusual image defect in the same place suggested that the problem could be occurring before the print job reached either device.
We first checked the print path and found that the wrong drivers were being used. Correcting the drivers was necessary, but it did not completely remove the problem. We then tested the PDFs using different reader software and found that using the correct Adobe PDF reader improved the output.
Further investigation identified the real issue in the customer's document-processing workflow. A CONFIDENTIAL overlay was being added across scanned pages, but the software creating the documents was not fully flattening the image and overlay. Some PDF renderers interpreted the hidden box or layer differently from others, so the artefact could appear in print even though it was not obvious on screen.
The lesson was important: replacing the photocopiers would not have corrected the root cause. The issue was in the document creation, scanning and PDF-rendering workflow rather than the print engines themselves.
We have since proposed a wider scanning and document-workflow solution using high-end Kodak scanners and professional capture software. The aim is to improve scanning speed, image consistency, document quality and processing while reducing the chance of software-generated artefacts reaching the print stage.
We are also redesigning the customer's print environment. They currently operate one 100ppm machine and two 75ppm machines. The 100ppm device has now produced around 4 million prints, so although it has delivered a very high volume of work, the effects of that lifetime use are increasingly relevant when planning the next stage of the fleet.
Our proposed replacement is four new 65ppm machines supported by print management software that can route work to an available, usable device rather than requiring the user to get up, check which copier is free and manually choose a different print queue.
Automatic Job Routing
Jobs can be directed to a suitable available machine, reducing the time users spend checking devices or resending work when one machine is busy or unavailable.
Load-Balanced Printing
Print volume can be distributed across the fleet rather than repeatedly concentrating the workload on one preferred device, helping create more even utilisation and wear.
More Resilient Capacity
Four machines provide more usable destinations for large print volumes. If one device is busy or unavailable, the workflow does not have to depend on users manually finding another machine.
Right-Sized Fleet, Not Just Higher PPM
The objective is not simply to replace a 100ppm machine with another very fast device. It is to improve the way the total workload is shared across the whole print environment.
At around 250,000 prints per month, the customer's requirement is no longer just a photocopier specification question. It is a complete workflow question: document capture, PDF processing, print routing, machine availability, fleet utilisation and long-term reliability all affect the final result.
The purchase price is not the whole cost
Check the Running Cost Before You Buy
Two photocopiers with similar purchase prices can have very different service costs over several years.
A4 Service CPC
Camelott® service can start from approximately 0.2p mono / 2p colour. Many A4 agreements we currently see are around 0.5p mono / 5p colour.
A3 Service CPC
Camelott® service can start from approximately 0.18p mono / 1.8p colour. Many A3 agreements we currently see are around 0.3p mono / 3p colour.
- No minimum billing as standard on Camelott® service
- Toner normally included in the relevant service/CPC structure
- No separate toner-delivery charge under the normal relevant service arrangement
- No automatic monthly or quarterly IT/scan fee simply because the functionality exists
- Check how colour clicks are counted before comparing advertised CPC figures
Buying the machine is only the first step
Delivery, Installation & Technical Setup
A commercial copier should arrive ready to work in the customer's actual environment rather than being left as a large unconfigured printer.
- Site and access planning. Check delivery route, stairs, doorways, parking, floors and final machine position.
- Professional delivery. Camelott®'s trained in-house engineers use appropriate specialist moving equipment.
- Network and driver setup. Print drivers, default settings and user/device configuration can be installed as agreed.
- Scanning setup. Scan-to-email, folders and supported cloud workflows can be configured around the requirement.
- Applications and security. Compatible Microsoft 365, Google, authentication and secure-print options can be configured where appropriate.
- Training and handover. Users are shown the functions relevant to their everyday print, copy and scanning work.
Ownership or spread the equipment cost?
Buy or Lease a Photocopier?
Buying and leasing solve different commercial problems. The machine requirement should be decided first, then the funding method compared.
Buying Can Suit...
Organisations with available capital, stable requirements and a preference for ownership without a multi-year equipment-finance commitment.
Leasing Can Suit...
Organisations that prefer to spread the equipment cost over an agreed term while preserving capital for other priorities.
Different environments need different equipment
Photocopiers for Business, Schools & Public Sector
The correct device depends on how the organisation works, not just how many people are in the building.
Small & Medium Businesses
Compact A4 or correctly sized A3 systems with reliable print, scan and low running costs.
Schools & Academies
Higher-volume mono, controlled colour, A3 resources, secure print, fast scanning and predictable service costs.
Busy Departments
