Match your print volume to the right device
Find roughly how many pages your office prints each month, then read across to the device class sized for that volume. The more you print, the larger the machine — and every class is available on a single monthly lease.
Small office
Less than 3,000 pages per month
A4 colour multifunction printer
25 to 35 pages per minute
Medium organisation
3,000 to 10,000 pages per month
A4 colour multifunction printer
35 to 45 pages per minute
Large organisation
10,000 to 25,000 pages per month
A3 colour multifunction printer
45 to 55 pages per minute
Enterprise
More than 25,000 pages per month
Fleet of 2 to 3 A3 colour multifunction printers (one main, one or two satellite)
45 to 55 pages per minute per device
Indicative band sizing only, not a binding quote. Actual monthly volume depends on your workflow, duplex defaults and seasonality. A formal lease quote confirms the device, term and your actual monthly volume.
The numbers behind an Australian office printer lease
Independent, sourced data on why a managed, single vendor print fleet matters and how the lease versus buy decision is treated for tax.
Each figure links to its source.
Australian businesses are small
97.3%
Of Australia's 2,729,648 actively trading businesses were small businesses with fewer than 20 employees at 30 June 2025, the segment a printer lease is built for, trading a large upfront purchase for a predictable monthly cost.

Print related data loss
56%
Of organisations reported at least one print related data loss in the past year.
For medical, legal, accounting and local government offices, an unmanaged printer that stores and routes confidential documents is a genuine exposure.

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.

Quick formFrequently asked questions
- How do you choose the right printer for my industry?
- We match the device class and speed to your monthly page volume, add the security and compliance features your sector needs, set up the finishing your documents require, and leave room to grow. Each guide sets out a recommended starting point for a business type and team size.
- What does a printer lease for my business include?
- Maintenance, genuine consumables, remote diagnostics and one predictable monthly fee from $189/month ex GST, on a 36 to 60 month term.
- Can you set up scanning to our existing software?
- Yes. Scan to encrypted folder is configured at install to drop straight into your file structure, or your patient or matter management system, set up before handover so there are no separate IT fees to integrate it.
- How much does an industry printer lease cost?
- Leases start from $189/month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term, with maintenance, genuine consumables and remote diagnostics included for the contract term. The final monthly figure is calculated against your specific volume mix at quote, so a higher-volume team pays for the throughput it actually uses.
- Can you track printing by department or cost centre?
- Yes. Per-user and per-department print accounting is configured at install, so the business office can see which teams drive volume and set sensible limits. It is one of the most effective ways to bring an unpredictable print budget back under control.
- What happens if our team grows after we lease?
- Devices are sized to your current volume with headroom built in, and the fleet can be reviewed and added to as you grow rather than locking you to a single machine. Talk to us about your expected growth at quote and we will factor it into the recommendation.
