Frequently asked questions
- Is Toshiba or Kyocera better for printer leasing in Australia?
- Neither is universally "better" — both are mainstream A3 colour multifunction options for Australian business leasing, with overlapping speed bands, security features, finishing options, and lease pricing. The right one depends on your volume profile, whether your team is already familiar with one fleet, and which service network is closer to your offices. We lease both and can put a like-for-like quote in front of you for either brand.
- Does the lease pricing differ between Toshiba and Kyocera?
- Both brands typically lease from $189/month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term, with maintenance, genuine consumables and remote diagnostics included. The exact monthly fee depends on the device class, speed, finishing options, and your volume mix.
- Can I run a mixed Toshiba and Kyocera fleet?
- Yes — the lease can cover both brands on a single agreement with consolidated billing. The trade-off is two toner families to manage and two sets of consumable spares. Most multi-site fleets stick to one brand for that reason; the exception is when one site has a use case (e.g. specific finishing) better served by the other brand.
- How fast can either brand be installed?
- Standard install timeline is 5 to 7 business days from signed lease in major Australian metros, sometimes faster. Emergency replacement can install inside 2 to 3 business days subject to device availability.
