SkylineDirect recertified machines are hard to differentiate from brand new machines. We start with a very low page count machine, strip it to the frame and rebuild or replace every piece one at a time. Cleaned with chemicals and high tech equipment, the panels are then repainted to resemble a brand new printer. That's why we can reimplement the full new-from-the-factory full 1 year parts and labor warranty on most recertified commercial machines we sell! Even our small, personal use machines carry a minimum of 6 months full parts and labor warranty! We firmly back up everything we sell and our machines work just as well and last just as long as brand new machines. In fact, you won't even know the difference. Except for the price.
