Choosing between two used commercial printers copiers can feel like comparing an open-box project with a ready-to-run production machine. The Canon imageRUNNER 5075 is listed at USD 650.00 and sold as-is; it comes with an automatic document feeder, scanner, multiple paper drawers, control panel, and rolling base cabinet, but its operating condition is currently untested. The Xerox C70 Press is listed at USD 3,795.00, comes from a local university, and is described as tested and working properly, with a finisher and needed cables included. The $3,145 price gap is the core trade-off: lower upfront cost versus a higher-priced unit that may be closer to ready to run.
Both are used, multi-function capable units. The key differences are listed price, condition, and color production features.
Quick verdict
If you can manage the heavy lifting and want to spend less, choose the Canon imageRUNNER 5075. If you want color production output with tested working condition and no as-is gamble, choose the Xerox C70 Press.

|---|---|---|---|

What the Canon imageRUNNER 5075 is best for
Pick this unit when the listed price is the deciding factor and you have the space and help to transport a heavy copier. It is a multi-function machine with the document feeder, scanner, and paper drawers included, but it is not confirmed to be in working order. That makes it a better fit for a buyer who plans to service it or is comfortable with an as-is purchase.
What the Xerox C70 Press is best for
Pick this machine when you need color output, speed, and finishing. It is a production-oriented color laser unit that the seller states has been tested and works properly. The finisher and cables are included, and the rated speeds go up to 75 ppm black and 70 ppm color. It's the higher-priced option, but it removes the unknown of an untested copier.
Canon imageRUNNER 5075 Commercial Copier Printer Scanner
The Canon earns its place with a lower listed price and a useful set of included components: automatic document feeder, scanner, multiple paper drawers, control panel, and rolling base cabinet. The catch is that the unit is sold as-is, its operating condition is currently untested, and the machine is large and heavy enough that you'll need help and proper transportation. If your workflow can absorb a used copier that may need attention before first use, the Canon is the lower-price route. If you need a machine in confirmed working condition on day one, the uncertainty should steer you elsewhere.
Xerox C70 Press Color Laser Commercial Production Printer Copier Scan 75PPM
The Xerox is the stronger pick for teams that want tested working condition and production color capabilities. The seller says the units came from a local university and were tested and work properly, and each one includes its finisher and needed cables. The listed attributes also show automatic duplexing, network printing, finishing, and a 7,260-sheet maximum paper capacity. The main obstacle is the price gap: it is the costlier of the two, so it demands more upfront budget. For an office that needs color volume, finishing, and less guesswork, the added cost lines up with what you get.
Final choice by use case
- Need a low-price multi-function unit and can handle maintenance yourself? Go with the Canon imageRUNNER 5075.
- Need a tested color production printer/copier with finishing and high speeds? Go with the Xerox C70 Press.
