Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task.
Evaluate the performance and cost efficiency of Kyocera’s multifunctional printers to understand why many businesses prefer them.
Gone are the days when you just had to be happy with a machine that simply printed, copied, scanned, and faxed.

So how does the old standby Canon stack up against Kyocera?
Canon
Canon started in 1937 as a camera maker and moved into copiers in 1970. That is more than fifty years in office print, long enough to build a name most buyers already trust.

The Differences
What a Kyocera costs to lease

We handle printer leasing in Brisbane, an office printer lease in Melbourne, multifunction leasing in Perth, copier leasing on the Gold Coast and photocopier hire in Sydney, and the Kyocera service plan is the same in each.
We also cover Mid North Coast offices in Kempsey and Port Macquarie.
Canon offers something Kyocera cannot, and that is nearly ninety years of brand stability.
Being a staple name in the industry can give Canon an edge with companies who just want a name they feel they can rely on.
Kyocera has been around for over 50 years but hasn’t taken over the market the way Canon has…yet.
Our Conclusion
We believe Canon is a solid company that produces a quality product consumers can feel comfortable purchasing.
Kyocera, however, was named the Most Reliable A3 Brand for 2025 to 2027 by Keypoint Intelligence, and its long life parts help keep running costs down.
GDS also supplies the OKI Pro1050 five colour label printer for businesses that need in house label production alongside their office MFP.
Lease the Right Multifunction Printer for Your Business
Should you tie up money by buying a printer up front?
Printers, like computers, are depreciating assets, so you won’t be able to recoup much money if you want to sell it when it’s time to upgrade.
At Global Document Solutions, we make having the right multifunction printer for your business’s needs easy and affordable.
Take a look at colour multifunction machines we install to see your options.
We work out what your office actually prints, then match you to the machine that fits, like a printer lease Gold Coast.
