Compare Copiers on Speed, Running Cost and What the Lease Includes
How to compare copiers on volume, colour and the true monthly cost
Compare copiers on three things: how many pages you print a month, whether you need colour, and what the monthly figure actually covers.
Volume matters most.
A machine sized wrong on volume costs you whichever way you go, so speed and sticker price are the wrong place to start.
The third one is where quotes stop being comparable.
A rate that excludes toner, parts, service labour and call outs cannot be set beside one that includes them, which is the first thing to check on any business copier lease.
The table below sets buying a copier outright against leasing one from us, using our own published terms.
Copier Comparison: Kyocera vs. Industry Printers
| What you are comparing | Buying outright | Leasing with GDS |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | The full price of the machine | Nothing to pay up front |
| Toner | You buy it as you need it | Included, delivered before you run out |
| Parts and service labour | Charged per job | Included |
| Call outs | Charged per visit | Included |
| Monthly figure | None, but costs arrive unpredictably | One set figure from $160 a month (plus GST) |
| Term | You keep it until it dies | 36, 48 or 60 months, your choice |
| At the end | You own an ageing machine | Upgrade, keep it at a reduced rate, or return it |
| Auto renewal | Not applicable | None. It runs month to month until you return the device |
| What you still buy | Everything | Paper |
Every figure here is our own published terms.
