Before you enquire
Is there a short term option?
Agreements run 36 to 60 months, with no shorter option available.
The length within that range is your decision before anything is signed rather than ours afterwards.
Am I stuck with the equipment at the end?
You choose between three paths: move to a newer machine on a fresh agreement, continue on the equipment already in place, or hand it back.
Each one is priced and confirmed in writing before it starts.
Can the equipment be swapped later?
Volumes rarely stay still, so the agreement allows a change of device once the swap is re priced and confirmed in writing.
Delivery is within 10 business days of a confirmed lease order, and installation is part of it.
Does leasing suit a small office?
If you print more than around 500 pages a month, an all inclusive lease is typically simpler to budget for.
It replaces a desktop inkjet plus cartridges and unplanned service callouts.
Maintenance, genuine toner and remote diagnostics are included in one monthly set plan for the contract term.
We are mid contract with another supplier. Is it worth asking?
Yes.
Being mid term does not stop us quoting.
The new installation is timed to your existing end date so the two never overlap, and we will map the changeover with you.
Notice windows are the part most often missed, so check yours early.

Get Your Photocopier Lease Quote
Quick formA photocopier is a document machine built around the glass and the feeder rather than around a paper tray. It handles A3, it sustains a high copy volume, and its finishing unit collates and staples a job unattended. A photocopier lease costs from $160 a month ex GST on a term of 3 to 5 years.
photocopier lease in detail
A photocopier is not simply a printer with a lid. If your work involves plans, reports, booklets or long copy runs, that is the machine you need, and the difference from an office printer is not a matter of degree.
Where a copier stops being a printer
Before a copier, a fifty page report means someone standing at the machine feeding sheets and then sorting and stapling the sets by hand. After one is installed, the same job is one press of a button and the operator walks away. The bridge between those two situations is the document feeder and the finishing unit, and that is what you are actually leasing.
The difference shows up the moment a job is more than a few pages. A copier takes a stack into the document feeder and scans both sides in one pass, so a fifty page double sided report becomes one action rather than fifty. It prints A3, which matters if you produce plans, spreadsheets, menus or anything that will not read properly at A4.
Finishing is where the time actually goes, and a leased copier can collate a job into sets, staple each set and stack them in order while the operator does something else. Larger models fold and booklet fit. The glass and the feeder are also engineered for sustained duty rather than occasional use, so a machine copying steadily every day does not degrade the way a desktop printer pressed into the same job would.
Is a copier worth it next to a cheaper desktop printer?
On the sticker the copier is the expensive option. The question worth asking is what your team currently spends standing at a machine feeding pages by hand, and whether the finishing work is being done manually by someone whose time costs more than the difference.
Who you are dealing with
Quotes carry no obligation and there is no pushy follow up. Machines are leased from Kyocera, Toshiba, HP and Brother, installed and serviced anywhere in Australia by Global Document Solutions, operating since 2010. Our verified Google reviews are published under real business names rather than summarised on this page.
What the finishing unit actually does
- Collates a multi page job into ordered sets rather than one loose pile.
- Staples each set as it is produced, without anyone standing at the machine.
- Offsets each set on the tray so the sets do not merge.
- On larger models, folds the sheets and produces a saddle stitched booklet.
Common questions
- Do I need A3 if we mostly print A4?
- Only if something you produce genuinely needs the larger sheet, such as plans, wide spreadsheets or menus. If nothing does, an A4 office device costs less each month and you should be quoted for that instead.
- What does finishing actually cover?
- Collating a job into ordered sets and stapling each set unattended. Larger models also fold and produce booklets.
What happens next
Describe the documents you produce, the paper sizes and whether anything needs stapling or binding. We match a machine to that work and reply the same business day.

How it works

A3 is exactly twice the area of A4. Pick the one you print and we will size the quote to it. Toner, parts, service labour and call outs are included either way, so you only buy paper.

Plans, spreads, menus, posters and folded booklets.
What that means for the quote

What is Printer Leasing?
Printer Leasing is a monthly set plan that gives an Australian business the use of a printer or multifunction device.
All maintenance, genuine toner, parts and technical support are included for the whole term.
Terms with LeasemyPrinter run 36 to 60 months, and no shorter arrangement is offered here.
The business pays a single predictable monthly amount instead of buying the equipment outright, and replaces or upgrades the device at the end of the term.
Leasing, rental and hire describe the same agreement, arranged differently on paper.

Need A3, long copy runs and a finisher that collates and staples a job unattended?
See how a photocopier lease is matched to the work you actually do.


Printing at A3 Instead of A4
An A3 photocopier prints and copies on the larger A3 sheet as well as standard A4, roughly doubling the surface a single page can hold.
That extra size matters the moment a document will not fit comfortably on A4.
Think of a floor plan, a site drawing, a wide spreadsheet or a poster for a shopfront window.
Leasing gives access to that capability from $160 a month ex GST over a 36 to 60 month term, without buying the equipment outright.
The exact monthly figure for A3 equipment depends on the sheet size, volume and finishing you need, and we confirm it in writing before anything is signed.
Who Actually Needs A3
Architects and builders print plans and site drawings that only read clearly at A3.
Accountants and consultants export wide spreadsheets that lose their columns when squeezed onto A4.
Print-heavy offices produce folded A3 booklets, council documents and technical manuals that A4 simply cannot hold.
If none of that describes your week, a standard A4 device will likely cover you.
There is little reason to lease A3 equipment you will rarely use at its full size.
More Places A3 Turns Up
Real estate agents print property brochures and window cards at A3 for a clearer display.
Engineering firms run schematics and technical layouts that lose detail at any smaller size.
Hospitality venues print menus and event signage that need the larger format to read well from a distance.
None of these businesses print A3 every day of the week, but when the need arrives, an A4 only device simply cannot help.
Matching the Machine to Your Monthly Volume
A3 devices are built for a wide range of output.
A design studio might run a few hundred large sheets a month, while a busy print room produces tens of thousands.
The right lease matches equipment to that real number rather than the number a buyer assumes they need.
A machine rated for high volume run at a trickle wastes capacity you are paying for.
A machine rated for light use run at a high volume wears out faster than it should and needs more call outs.
Tell us your rough monthly page count in both A4 and A3, and we can size the equipment properly before you sign anything.
Where volume swings sharply between a quiet month and a busy one, mention that too, since it affects which machine holds up well without frequent call outs.
Finishing That Turns Pages Into Documents
Many A3 leases include finishing units that turn loose printed sheets into a completed document.
Stapling finishes a report so it hands over as one object, not a stack of loose paper.
A hole punch prepares pages for a ring binder.
Booklet folding and saddle stitching take a run of A3 sheets and fold them down into an A4 booklet with a stitched spine.
That finished booklet suits a training manual, a menu or an event program.
Not every office needs every finishing option, and we will talk through which ones your documents actually call for.
A firm producing council submissions and tender documents might need stapling and hole punching but never touch a booklet folder.
A venue printing seasonal menus might need the opposite.
The Mistake to Avoid With Finishing Units
Adding every finishing option available can look thorough on a spec sheet, even when only one or two of those functions match what the office actually produces.
If your documents genuinely need booklet folding, we will fit it.
If stapling alone would cover what you actually produce, we will tell you that before quoting rather than adding modules you will not touch.
What You Pay and For How Long
The monthly fee on an A3 lease covers the machine, the toner, the parts and the service labour.
That includes call outs for both the copier and any finishing unit attached to it.
You only buy paper.
A3 equipment and finishing options vary widely between offices.
We confirm your exact monthly figure in writing once we know your sheet size, your volume and your finishing needs.
A flat published number would not hold true across every setup.
A3 leases run the same 36 to 60 month terms as the rest of our range, so three to five years.
A print-heavy office running high volumes through a booklet finisher day after day may prefer a longer term, since the monthly figure spreads further against steady, ongoing use.
A design studio with an occasional large print run might prefer a shorter term instead.
Either way, nothing renews automatically without your written approval once the term ends.
End of Term for a Copier and Its Finisher
At the end of an A3 lease you have three paths.
Return the copier and any attached finishing unit, upgrade the pair onto a new term, or continue running the equipment you already have.
The decision is yours to make once the term is up, not something that happens by default.
Requesting Your A3 Quote
Tell us your sheet sizes, your monthly volume and which finishing tasks matter to you, and we will match the equipment to that brief.
A quote request takes about two minutes online, with a reply the same business day, Monday to Friday.
A confirmed lease order typically brings installation within 10 business days.
We work Australia wide, so the same sizing and finishing conversation happens whether you are in a city studio or a regional print room.

What a finisher does to the stack

Common Questions About Printer Leasing
How much does it cost to lease a photocopier?
Photocopier leasing opens at $160 a month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term.
Where a quote lands above that depends on the device class, whether you need A3, colour, and the finishing the work requires, such as stapling or booklet folding.
Should I lease an A3 photocopier or stay with A4?
A3 earns its place when the office regularly produces plans, spreadsheets, menus or booklets that lose detail at A4.
Most workplaces choose an A3 capable device even when the majority of daily output is A4, because the larger sheet is there when it is needed.
What does the photocopier lease cover?
Equipment, toner, drums, parts, service labour and call outs sit inside the one monthly figure.
Paper is the only running cost you buy separately.
Because there is no page allowance and no per page rate, a heavy month does not produce a larger invoice.
How quickly can a photocopier be installed?
Installation is typically arranged within about ten business days of a confirmed lease order, subject to credit approval and stock.
The device is delivered, positioned, connected to the network and tested, rather than left in a box for your team to configure.
Can several people use one photocopier securely?
Yes.
Secure print release holds a job at the device until the person who sent it authenticates, which keeps confidential documents off the output tray.
Scan destinations and user accounts can be set per person or per department at install.
What if the photocopier breaks down?
Service labour, parts and call outs are already inside the monthly payment, so a fault does not produce an unexpected bill.
Many issues are diagnosed remotely, and where an attendance is needed a technician is scheduled to attend on site.
Can I change device if the volume grows?
Yes.
If the workload outgrows the machine the arrangement can be reviewed and the device changed for one sized to the new volume.
Sizing the device correctly at the start is still the cheaper path, which is why quoting begins with your actual output.
