You are correct that they are both gone through very thoroughly and work perfectly. The ones listed for $795 have had greater than 30% total usage. The printers can be reset several times. I can't tell how many times except by the condition I find them in. How full the waste inks pads are, the amount of cleaning necessary for the paper handlers, and ink system, trays, etc. I replace all components that are necessary, but even if one had to get a component replaced where another just needed to be cleaned and repaired, I offer it for the the very fair market price of $795. Based on the condition of the non repairable parts. I expect them to still last many years with normal use. For high use, like commercial. I still expect them to last a few years The $1,299 printers have less than 10% total use. There is virtually no wear on the components. None required repair, other than print heads. I paid more for them up front as well with newer model serial numbers too, i.e. "Namy2XXXXX". Some might need new or repaired main board taken out by the print head or poor attempts at repair by others. Not the same as worn. I offer a year warranty because my confidence level of them not needing repair is much higher. These are as good as "NEW". All of my warranties, even my 90da warranties are not real firm, although they are legally. Bad luck can happen, so I ask any customer to call me if they have a failure, and I reserve the right to still fix it for them for free or for just a nominal cost after the warranty period. This is how I maintain 100% feedback rating. Of course very few of my refurbished products ever fail. Hope that helps you make a decision.
Thanks for asking,
