The right printer for your business can be a big expense. How do you know if it’s time to replace your printer? How long do inkjet printers last?
Generally, the average lifespan of an inkjet printer is around 3-5 years under normal usage. If you use the printer more frequently than average or if you’re using it for a business, you might find the life of your printer is shorter.
On the other hand, business class printers:
- Are designed to reliably print, copy, and scan hundreds of pages each day
- Can print more pages per ink cartridge, so your toner costs aren’t as high each month
- Business class printers can be maintained regularly almost like a car, and last years in your office without needing to be entirely replaced

Repair or Replace: Ask Yourself These Questions
Before you make the decision to repair or replace your inkjet printer, ask yourself these questions:
- Have you been printing frequently?
- Is your printer still under warranty?
- Are you using an older model printer?
- How much is the hourly rate for printer repair services?
MCS offers a $25 printer assessment. One of our technicians will diagnose the issue(s) and provide an estimated cost of repair. If the cost is not worth the labor rate, we’ll let you know so you don’t waste your money or your time. If we think buying a new printer is the best option for you, we’ll let you know about that too, and we can even make recommendations about how to go forward and what printer to choose.
Like cars, plumbing, or heating, it is difficult to find a business class printer repair center you can count on. If a machine is older or has a repair that would exceed the cost of replacement, we aren’t against telling you it's not worth the cost of fixing.
