Quick formHow do I compare printer lease brands in Australia?

Each guide below sets the major brands side by side on those points.
Then we match you to a like for like quote on the brands we lease: Kyocera, HP, Toshiba and Brother.
Lease comparison
Toshiba vs Kyocera
Both brands sit in the same A3 multifunction class for Australian business leasing. The right one depends on volume profile, finishing requirements, and which fleet your team is already familiar with.

Toshiba vs HP
Both brands lease as business multifunction devices, but they sit in slightly different classes: Toshiba eStudio is built around A3 colour production, while HP leads with A4 colour LaserJet Enterprise fleets and a deep device-security stack. The right starting point depends on whether your output is mostly A4 office work or includes A3 production.
Compare Toshiba vs HPLease comparison
Konica Minolta vs Toshiba
Both brands compete in the A3 colour multifunction class for Australian business leasing. The right one depends on workflow integration needs, finishing options, and which service network is closest to your offices.

- Security. Secure print release, encrypted drives and audit logging for client data.
- Service. How quickly a technician can reach your office when it matters.
Every lease we arrange includes

Desire
Predictable monthly cost, not a big capital hit
Buying a machine outright is a large upfront cost. Leasing spreads it into a flat monthly figure from $189/month ex GST, 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.

ATO instant asset write off, 2025 to 2026
$20,000
If you buy equipment outright, eligible small businesses with an aggregated annual turnover under $10 million can immediately deduct the business portion of eligible assets costing less than $20,000, where the asset is first used or installed ready for use between 1 July 2025 and 30 June 2026.
Genuine operating lease payments are instead deductible as a business expense each period.

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, the monthly lease plus cost per page, 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 $189/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, your monthly volume and the per-page rate rather than the brand badge alone, so we quote a per-page rate with each lease. Kyocera is often chosen for low running cost because of its long-life ceramic drum 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 and per-page rate on equal footing rather than guessing from list specs.
