Certified Remanufactured Printers by Metrofuser

Updated: Sep 27, 2019


The Certification Process


Pre Production

The remanufacturing begins with a Pre selection process that chooses cosmetically superior, low-page count printers in outstanding overall condition. Our certified technicians put these printers through a series of tests to help ensure reliability, quality and customer confidence prior to selection. The devices are now disassembled down to the frame.


Production

Plastic covers take a trip to the powder coating booth for a fresh coat of our custom blended and color corrected paint. The inner and outer printer frame is cleaned and completely free of dust and toner. All printer foot pegs are inspected, cleaned or replaced. With the interior and exterior prep completed its now time to focus the mechanical and electrical components.


Metrofuser's printer part replacement program uses only OEM or NEXTENN brand replacement parts during the remanufacturing process.

Before and After LCD Screen Treatment Process

Over time and use office laser printers develop scratches. The scratches build up one on top of the other to and eventually reduce visibility, light pass through and cosmetic appearance of the LCD screen. Scratches on the plastic screen can be mildly annoying or seriously distracting. Metrofuser developed a process to resurface the LCD screen to like new condition.
