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.

What every printer lease includes
Every lease covers the device itself along with delivery and professional installation at your premises, so the printer is ready to use from day one.
Maintenance, toner and remote diagnostics are included for the contract term, meaning break-fix call-outs, genuine consumables, replacement parts and remote fault monitoring are all part of the agreement.
Technical support is also included, so your team has a direct line to service technicians throughout the lease without any additional call-out charges.
What is quoted separately with your lease
The per-page rate for prints and copies is quoted with each lease based on the device, term and your expected monthly volume, so costs reflect your actual usage rather than a one-size-fits-all figure.
Paper is not included in a standard lease and is purchased independently, as paper preferences and stock types vary widely between businesses.
Optional upgrades or additional hardware such as finishing units or high-capacity trays can be added to a lease and are itemised in your quote rather than bundled into the base monthly rate.
Flexibility during the lease and your options at the end
Many leases include a mid-term re-flex provision that allows you to upgrade to a newer model or adjust your agreement if your print volumes change significantly during the contract.
At the end of your lease term you have three clear choices: upgrade to a current model and start a new lease, continue on the existing lease at a reduced rate, or return the device.
All end-of-lease options are outlined in your agreement upfront, so there are no surprises when the contract concludes.

Frequently asked questions
- Is toner included in a printer lease?
- Yes, genuine toner and consumables are included for the full term of a standard printer lease. You do not need to order or pay for toner separately, as replenishment is managed as part of your service agreement. This means you always have the correct consumable for your device without the administration overhead of sourcing supplies independently.
- Does a printer lease include servicing and repairs?
- Yes, all maintenance and break-fix servicing is included in a standard lease, covering both parts and labour for the contract duration. If a fault occurs, a qualified technician attends to the repair at no additional charge. Remote diagnostics are also included, which means many issues can be identified and resolved before they affect productivity.
- Are there any extra costs on top of the monthly lease?
- The main variable outside the monthly lease payment is the per-page rate, which is quoted with each lease based on the device, term and your monthly volume. Paper is also purchased separately, as it is not included in a lease agreement. Any optional hardware accessories or finishing units are itemised in your quote, so you have a complete picture of costs before signing.
- What is not included in a printer lease?
- Paper is not included and is the primary consumable you source independently. Per-page rates for prints and copies are separate and are quoted based on your specific device, term length and volume. Optional hardware accessories beyond the base device configuration are also quoted separately, though they can be added to the lease agreement at the outset.
