Before you enquire
How long am I locked in for?
Terms run 36 to 60 months and nothing shorter is offered.
You pick the length at the start, and most businesses take 60 months.
What are my options when the term ends?
You decide between upgrading to a newer model, continuing on the same device, or returning it.
Nothing renews on its own, and any new agreement is quoted in writing first.
Can the equipment be swapped later?
The agreement allows a move to a bigger printer or a different model.
A swap is re priced and confirmed in writing, then delivered usually within about 10 business days of a confirmed order, installation included.
Are we too small for this to be worth it?
Small offices lease as often as large ones.
Past roughly 500 pages a month, the comparison usually starts to favour leasing once cartridges and unplanned service calls are counted in.
Cartridges and unplanned service calls stop arriving separately and become one monthly set plan.
What if we are partway through an existing agreement?
Yes.
It is common for businesses who contact us to be partway through an existing agreement.
We prepare your quote now and time the new installation to your current lease end date, so there is no overlap and no print outage.
It is worth checking your existing contract notice window early, because those dates are easy to miss.
Call us or submit the form and we will map the changeover with you.

Find your Toshiba eStudio model for your Forster business
Five short questions. We recommend a Toshiba eStudio model from the published range.
Indicative recommendation only
- This tool recommends a model. It does not quote a price.
- Leases start from $160 a month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term (entry tier published price).
- Your final monthly investment is set by the finance provider when the lease is signed.
What you get
Imagine one bill that never surprises you
Your Forster Toshiba eStudio lease bundles the hardware and the running costs into a single set monthly payment, so the only thing you buy is paper.
No separate toner orders.
No surprise service bills.
Just one predictable line on the books.
Included in every lease: the device, scheduled maintenance, genuine Toshiba toner and consumables, and remote diagnostics for the contract term.
What you get
Predictable monthly cost, not a big capital hit
Buying a machine outright is a large upfront cost. Leasing spreads it into one set monthly figure from $160 a month ex GST on a 36 to 60 month term, so your Forster cash flow stays steady and easy to budget.
Illustrative timing only. The bars show when money goes out, not a total. Total cost depends on the term, device and finance provider, and is confirmed in writing when the lease is signed.
