A printer lease allows a business to use professional equipment while paying fixed instalments over an agreed term. A separate service agreement can cover toner, maintenance, parts, labour and engineer callouts.
Most business printer leasing agreements run for between 36 and 60 months. The appropriate term depends on your required flexibility, equipment specification and preferred monthly cost.
The lease normally funds the equipment. A separate managed service agreement can include toner, maintenance, replacement parts, labour, remote monitoring and engineer support.
Yes. Leasing can cover one device or a wider printer fleet across multiple departments and business locations.
Leasing reduces the initial capital requirement and provides predictable equipment payments. Purchasing provides ownership but requires a larger upfront cost and usually leaves servicing and repairs to be arranged separately.
Before the agreement ends, we can review your usage and requirements. Options may include upgrading the equipment, extending the arrangement or organising return of the existing devices.
The service agreement can cover toner cartridges, replacement parts, labour and engineer callouts for the agreed contract period. Depending on the solution, it may also include automatic toner replenishment, remote monitoring, preventative maintenance and usage reporting.
Yes. Our team can deliver the equipment, connect it to your network, configure print drivers and scanning destinations, apply the required security settings and provide operator training.
We target rapid engineer response throughout our supported areas, with many service calls attended on the same working day. Remote diagnostics are also available. The precise service level is confirmed within your proposal.
We provide clear, itemised pricing showing the equipment cost and service cost separately. Included items such as toner, parts, labour, maintenance and engineer callouts are explained before you commit.
The illustrated £20 desktop A4, £40 floor-standing A4 and £60 floor-standing A3 prices are monthly equipment starting prices on a 60-month agreement.
