How Much Does It Cost to Lease a Plotter in Australia?
A plotter lease in Australia is typically quoted as a single monthly figure that bundles the device, service, standard media kits, and printheads, with the amount set by the plotter class and your monthly print volume.

Printer lease cost bands in Australia (indicative)
The Australian printer lease market sits in four broad monthly bands. Figures below are indicative market benchmarks compiled from publicly published competitor pricing as at May 2026, not LMP quotes. Your formal quote depends on the device, term, monthly page volume and finance provider.
| Device class | Typical use case | Monthly band (ex GST, all inclusive) |
|---|---|---|
| A4 mono MFP | 1 to 5 staff, under 1,000 pages per month | from $80 to $150 per month |
| A4 colour MFP | 5 to 15 staff, 1,000 to 3,000 pages per month | from $150 to $220 per month (LMP entry $189) |
| A3 colour MFP | 10 to 30 staff, 3,000 to 8,000 pages per month | from $220 to $320 per month |
| A3 colour high volume | 30+ staff, 8,000+ pages per month, finishing options | from $320 to $500+ per month |
Indicative market benchmarks based on publicly published competitor pricing including CopierChoice, Sharp EIT Solutions, Mitronics, ABT Group, Global Document Solutions and Axia Office (May 2026). All-inclusive bands assume the lease bundles equipment, scheduled service, parts and toner consumables. Per-page rates are quoted with each lease based on the device, term and your monthly print volume.

Why $4,500 ex GST is only the starting point
HP DesignJet T-series 24 inch and 36 inch entry plotters list at around $4,500 ex GST on the Australian HP store as at early 2025.
That figure is the hardware only and excludes wide format media, replacement printheads, and service contracts.
What a plotter lease bundles in
A leased plotter typically includes the device, installation, ongoing service, supply of printheads, and standard media kits at one monthly figure.
Square metre based pricing is available for users with steady throughput, capping the unit cost on every architectural set, signage panel, or engineering drawing.
On call repair sits inside the monthly contract rather than landing as a separate invoice each time the inks misfire.
When a wide format lease beats outright purchase
Architecture, engineering, and signage businesses that print weekly rather than daily get the strongest case for leasing.
Capital that would have been parked in a $4,500 plotter stays in the business and the monthly outflow tracks actual usage.
Users who plot multiple times per day with predictable volume can make the outright case work, but the lease structure removes the maintenance admin.
