You want to make sure you get a printer that addresses everything you want and need from it while still making sense economically.
Evaluate the performance and cost efficiency of Kyocera’s multifunctional printers to understand why many businesses prefer them.

So how does the old standby Canon stack up against Kyocera?
Let’s take a look.
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.
As such, they’ve become a staple need in professional and office printer leases in Sydney..

How They’re Similar
While there are distinct differences between printers from each company, there are some fundamental similarities in what the companies offer their consumers.

The Differences
What a Kyocera costs to lease
Leasing a managed Kyocera through Global Document Solutions is one set monthly payment.
It covers toner, parts, on site service and call outs, so within your page allowance paper is the only thing you add.
Plans start at $160 a month (plus GST), with nothing to pay up front and no auto renewal.
No obligation.
5.0 on Google from 150+ reviews.
Need a technician on site?
We lease and service Kyocera fleets in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, the Gold Coast and Sydney.
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, is leading the way in both technological advances and reliability, cost effectiveness, and functionality.
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
Knowing which printer you want is only part of the solution.
The next step is figuring out how to pay for one.
