How to compare a printer lease

  • Device class and speed. A4 or A3, and the pages per minute your volume actually needs.
  • Running cost. What the monthly fee includes, not just the headline figure.
  • Security. Secure print release, encrypted drives and audit logging for client data.
  • Service. How quickly a technician can reach your office when it matters.

Comparing brands is step one. See every printer and copier lease option we arrange, from single devices to full office fleets.

Comparing vendors, not brands? Start with how to judge printer lease companies in Australia.

Comparing suppliers rather than brands is a different job.

Managed Printer Services, run by the same company as LeasemyPrinter, sorts the market into the four kinds of managed print supplier ↗, so you can tell which one you are talking to.

What you get

Predictable monthly cost, not a big capital hit

Buying a machine outright is a large upfront cost. Leasing spreads it into one set monthly figure from $160 a month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term, so your cash flow stays steady and easy to budget.

Illustrative timing only. The bars show when money goes out, not a total. Total cost depends on the term, device and finance provider, and is confirmed in writing when the lease is signed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I compare printer lease brands?

Compare four things, not just the headline price: device class and speed for your page volume, what the monthly fee includes, the security features for handling client data, and how quickly a technician can reach your office.

We set the major brands side by side on those points and match you to a like for like quote.

Which brands does LeasemyPrinter lease?

We lease Kyocera, HP, Toshiba and Brother on a 36 to 60 month term, with maintenance, genuine consumables and remote diagnostics included for the contract term.

Where a brand we do not lease is the better technical fit, we match you to the closest device in our range.

Is leasing better value than buying outright?

Leasing turns a large upfront purchase into one predictable monthly fee from $160 a month ex GST on a 3 to 5 year contract, with servicing and consumables included.

Buying outright is a single capital cost plus your own running costs.

Which suits you depends on your cash flow and tax position rather than one being cheaper in every case.

Which printer brand is cheapest to run?

Running cost depends on the device and your monthly volume rather than the brand badge alone.

The monthly fee covers toner, parts, service labour and call outs, and you only buy paper.

Kyocera is often chosen for its long life drum and developer design, but the right answer comes from sizing the device to your actual volume.

Do I have to buy toner separately on any brand?

No.

Every lease we arrange includes genuine toner and consumables in the monthly payment for the contract term, on all brands we lease.

You only buy paper.

Can I get a like for like quote on two brands?

Yes.

Tell us your monthly volume and requirements and we price the same device class on each brand you are weighing up, so you compare the monthly lease cost on equal footing rather than guessing from list specs.
