Lease mechanics
Cost Per Page (CPP)
Cost per page (CPP) is the per-impression charge billed for each page a leased printer produces, covering toner and the consumable component of the contract.
Cost per page (CPP) is the per-impression charge billed for each page a leased printer or copier produces, covering toner consumption and the consumable component of a managed-print contract.
CPP rates are quoted separately for mono (black only) and colour prints, because a colour impression draws on four toners (CMYK) and a colour drum where a mono page draws only black, so its rate sits higher.
On a managed-print lease, CPP rates are set at contract signing and held for the contract term, so print costs stay predictable over a 36 to 60 month agreement.
CPP is billed monthly against the actual meter readings recorded by the device or submitted remotely.
In short
- A per-page charge for the toner and consumable side of the lease.
- Quoted separately for mono and colour.
- Fixed at signing and held for the term, so no mid-contract surprises.
