How to Lease a Printer or Copier in Australia
Leasing a printer in Australia means one provider supplies the machine and bills a single flat monthly fee.
Toner, parts, service labour and call outs are all bundled into that one monthly fee.
You pick a machine, agree a term and pay monthly with service built in.
- Choose a term from 36 to 60 months, with no auto renewal clause holding you in.
- Within your page allowance, paper is the only thing you buy.
No obligation · a personalised figure within 24 hours · we say so plainly if we cannot beat your current deal.
Everything from one team.
The device, toner, parts and servicing all come from one team on one agreement, so there is nothing to stitch together across a finance company, a hardware seller and a separate service contract.
A number that holds.
You agree the monthly amount before you sign, and it stays put for the whole term.
There are no call out fees, no surprise parts invoices and no toner that quietly slips outside the plan.
Sized to your volume.
We size the machine to your actual monthly volume first, then deliver, install and switch it on, usually inside ten business days, anywhere in Australia.
What your monthly payment includes
What a Printer Lease Actually Includes
A managed lease places a current Kyocera multifunction device in your office for a set monthly payment.
A single multifunction prints, copies and scans, so there is no row of separate machines to look after.
The fee is all inclusive: hardware, toner, parts, drums, service labour and call outs.
If a warning light comes on, you call us and a local technician attends and fixes it.
Because we keep an eye on usage, fresh toner arrives before you run out.
Installation, including setup, network connection and staff training, usually lands within about ten business days of signing.
What Does It Cost to Lease a Printer in Australia
Managed Kyocera plans open at $160 a month (plus GST).
The next tiers are $199 and $299, set by your volume and the device.
A busier office tends to sit on a higher plan, while a quieter one stays at the lower end.

Leasing or Buying a Printer: How to Decide
Buying a printer outright means a big spend on day one.
Then toner, parts and servicing keep arriving as separate bills through the year.
Leasing turns that into a single set monthly payment instead.
The cash that would have been tied up in hardware stays in your business.
When It Makes Sense to Switch Providers
Usually the trigger is an old contract that stopped adding up.
Toner invoices that turn up out of nowhere are a common one.
So is a support line that rings out or lands overseas.
Some are stuck with an ageing machine that jams more often than it prints.
Others signed years back and never noticed the auto renewal ticking over beneath them.
A GDS plan is all inclusive, so those toner surprises simply stop.
Call us and you reach local Australian technicians, not an offshore call centre.
There is no auto renewal in our lease.
When the term ends it rolls to month to month until you hand the device back.
Early exit is spelled out in plain English, with nothing buried.
We hold a 5.0 rating across 150+ Google reviews.

How Managed Printer Leasing Works in Australia
A printer lease with Global Document Solutions is a managed print service, not a bare office printer rental.
Each agreement folds the photocopier or multifunction printer, genuine toner, parts and on site service into one set monthly payment.
A managed plan also brings usage monitoring, automatic toner delivery and scan to email, so the machine supports your workflow instead of interrupting it.
Whether you need one office printer or a national fleet, we size it first, then quote a single all inclusive monthly figure.
If your fleet spans several sites, see how we manage printers across multiple locations.
Common Printer Leasing Questions
Q.01 How much does it cost to lease a printer for business?+
Managed Kyocera plans begin at $160 a month (plus GST), then step up to $199 and $299 based on your volume and device.
Every plan is all inclusive, covering toner, parts, drums, service labour and call outs, so within your page allowance paper is your only extra.
Call 1300 873 460 and we will match you to the right plan.
Q.02 Can I lease a printer, copier and scanner in one device?+
Yes.
A single Kyocera multifunction device handles printing, copying and scanning, so there is no need for three separate machines.
Q.03 Is this a lease or a rental?+
It is a managed lease over a fixed 36 to 60 month term.
The device, toner, parts, drums, service labour and call outs all sit inside one monthly fee, and within your page allowance paper is the only thing you buy.
Full detail for renters lives on our printer hire and rental page.
Q.04 Are there auto renewal clauses in the lease?+
No. There is no auto renewal clause.
When the term ends, the lease moves to month to month until you return the device.
Q.05 What happens if I need to end the lease early?+
Early exit is covered in plain English.
It sets out any outstanding amounts, the remaining payments and reasonable recovery costs, so you know where you stand before deciding.
Q.06 Do you service Australia?+
Yes.
Our workshop is at Bethania, Queensland, so support is genuinely local, and we cover businesses across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, using local Australian technicians.
Q.07 How do I know if I am overpaying on my current contract?+
Send through your current invoice and we will run it against an all inclusive GDS plan, line by line, in writing.
The documented comparison shows where your money goes and whether you pay for extras you do not need.
Q.08 Is it better to buy or lease a printer?+
For Australian businesses, leasing keeps costs predictable with toner and service included, and a GDS plan carries no auto renewal.
Q.09 How do printer leases work?+
You pick a machine, agree a 36 to 60 month term and pay monthly with service built in.
Our national network puts local technicians and fast on site help within reach.
Q.10 What is the cheapest printer to run in Australia?+
Running cost is driven by toner yield and volume, not the sticker price.
Toner yield is the litres per 100km figure of printing, it tells you how many pages one cartridge covers before it needs replacing.
Business Kyocera machines keep the cost per page low, and on a GDS lease the toner is already inside your set monthly payment.
Q.11 Why do companies lease printers?+
It lets you skip a big purchase, keep service and toner on one bill and stay on current technology, with no auto renewal and a local Australian team behind you.
