      Buying vs leasing an office printer

      Buying a printer means paying the full price upfront and covering toner and repairs yourself, while a lease spreads the cost into one monthly payment that already includes them. The running costs, not the purchase price, usually decide which option is cheaper.

      Buy outright Lease with us
      Upfront cost Full price Nothing
      Toner You buy it Included
      Repairs You pay Included on breakdowns
      Upgrading Sell or scrap the old one Free upgrade during the term
      Cash flow One large payment Fixed monthly payment
      Tax Claimed as depreciation Payments generally deductible

      Buy or lease questions

      Should I buy or lease an office printer?

      Lease if you want predictable monthly costs, no upfront spend and toner and servicing handled for you. Buying suits businesses that print very little and are happy to manage toner and repairs themselves.

      What does an office printer really cost to run?

      Toner, drums and repairs over the life of a printer often cost more than the machine itself. That is why a cheap printer from a stationery store can end up the most expensive option for a busy office.

      Can I trade in my old printer?

      Yes. We pay cash for old equipment when you choose a new machine from us, and can buy back your printer at a guaranteed price if you upgrade to a leasing plan.
