Quick answer
Photocopier Leasing is a long-term contract where UK businesses rent printers instead of buying them. Monthly costs start from £20 for a desktop A4 device or £60 for an A3 multifunction printer. Toner, parts and engineer support are included in the service contract.
What is Photocopier Leasing?
photocopier leasing, simply explained
Photocopier leasing is a finance agreement where a business pays fixed monthly instalments over 36 to 60 months to use a multifunction photocopier. A separate service contract covers toner, parts, labour and engineer callouts alongside the lease.
Service contract note
A service contract runs alongside the lease or rental agreement and covers toner, all parts, labour and on-site engineer callouts for the contract duration - kept separate from the hardware agreement so costs are always transparent.
Print, copy & scan A3 and A4
One device handles all your document formats - from standard A4 to large-format A3 proposals.
36–60 month flexible terms
Choose a contract length that matches your budget cycle. Upgrade mid-term if your volumes change.
Full service included
Toner, parts, labour and engineer callouts all covered under a separate service contract.
Secure print management
Authentication, user permissions and secure release protect sensitive documents.
