Printer leasing for real estate agencies.
Every branch on one agreement, with toner and service included.
Australian owned since 2010.
Set monthly term, no automatic renewal.
Your listings are judged on how they come out of the machine.
-
Floor plans at true A3 size
A scaled plan leaves a buyer upset about a balcony they thought was bigger.
-
Brochures in real colour
A faded kitchen photo sells nothing.
-
Window cards by Thursday
Printed in your own office for a Saturday auction, not waiting on a print shop.
-
Paperwork on inspection day
Tenancy agreements and condition reports finished the day of the inspection, not the week after.
One agreement for every branch.
A second office doesn’t mean a second supplier.
When you open another branch, it joins the same terms and the same renewal date, so nothing restarts.
-
Tell us your offices
Send a rough page count for each branch, and no site visit is needed.
-
Get one written figure
It comes back within 24 hours, with the page allowance, the extra page rate and the term on the same page.

Machines go in branch by branch
Each one is set up with scanning to email working before we leave the site.

We replaced our existing machine (also through GDS) and, as always, the process was seamless.
We had our machine up and running with minimal downtime.
Thanks Cyrus and team.

Printer rental and lease options for real estate agencies: three plans, one figure a month.
Every office in the group sits on the same plan table, so head office reads one figure per branch.
A photocopier lease, a printer rental and a multifunction printer lease are the same agreement here.
| Plan | Monthly figure | Device class | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lumen | from $160 a month (plus GST) | A4 colour multifunction | A single office printing letters, applications and window cards |
| Valeris | from $199 a month (plus GST) | A3 colour multifunction | Offices printing floor plans, brochures and campaign material at A3 |
| Aurex | from $299 a month (plus GST) | High volume A3 colour | Multi branch groups and busy campaign offices |
| What the agreement sets | The figure |
|---|---|
| Term | 36, 48 or 60 months, chosen by you |
| Inside the monthly figure | Genuine toner, parts and drums, service labour, call outs, scheduled maintenance and a named account manager |
| Outside it | Paper only |
| Installation | Delivered, installed and printing within 10 business days of signing |
| End of term | No auto renewal, the agreement runs month to month until the device is returned |
| Secure release | Jobs wait on the device until the sender enters a PIN or taps a card |
| Stored data | Hard drive encryption on Kyocera devices, configured on site at install |
| Print records | Release logs show the user, the device and the job, deployed with PaperCut |
Figures from the the monthly figures for each plan page, the Kyocera device security page and the print security overview page.
The plan is set by what each branch prints, not by how many desks it has.
The rules a shared printer has to meet in an agency.
Tenancy applications, identity documents and contracts pass through the machine every day.
Two sets of rules reach the device itself.
Privacy Act 1988
Under Australian Privacy Principle 11 the agency stays accountable for personal information it holds, including scans and print jobs stored on a leased device.
Secure print release keeps an applicant’s identity documents off the tray, and hard drive encryption is configured at install.
Anti money laundering reforms
AUSTRAC’s tranche two reforms bring real estate professionals into the anti money laundering regime, with customer identification and record keeping duties.
Release logs that show who printed what and when give the agency a record it can produce.
Unfair contract terms
The Australian Consumer Law protects small businesses from unfair terms in standard form contracts, and a lease is a standard form contract.
GDS agreements carry no auto renewal, and every branch shares the one renewal date.
Sources: OAIC, Australian Privacy Principles, AUSTRAC, AML/CTF reform, ACCC, contracts and unfair terms.

Frequently asked questions
The questions agents ask first.
Is leasing a printer a good idea for a real estate agency?
Yes for most agencies.
Floor plans, brochures and window cards run in colour at A3, and a lease folds toner, parts and service into one monthly figure.
A group with several branches also gets one agreement, one invoice and one renewal date instead of a separate deal in every office.
How much does it cost to lease a printer for a real estate agency?
Plans start from $160 a month (plus GST) for an A4 colour multifunction.
A3 colour starts from $199 a month (plus GST), and high volume A3 colour from $299 a month (plus GST).
Terms run 36, 48 or 60 months, and paper is the only extra.
Can you get out of a printer lease early?
A GDS agreement has no auto renewal.
It ends when the term you chose ends, then runs month to month until the device is returned.
Our guide to ending a copier lease sets out the options for an existing contract.
Is it cheaper to buy or lease a printer for a real estate agency?
Buying costs less only when the agency prints little and keeps the machine for years, because the purchase price is just the start.
Leasing swaps the up front spend and every toner, part and technician visit for one monthly figure, which is why most campaign driven offices lease.
How print volumes and service set the monthly fee for an office printer
Every quote starts with print volumes, meaning the pages each office sends to the multifunction device in a quiet month and in a campaign month.
Compare print costs on the allowance and the per page rate, not the headline figure alone.
A printer lease agreement spreads the machine over a 36 to 60 month term and folds the running costs into one monthly payment, which protects cash flow between settlements.
Managed print services suit a group running several devices across Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney.
The lease or buy guide and the guide to renting a printer set both paths out in full.
What printer does a real estate agency need?
An A3 colour printer that also copies and scans, sized to how much your campaigns print.
Most agencies want scanning to email, cloud storage, double sided printing and enough paper that a brochure run doesn’t empty every tray mid job.
We size it against what you actually print, and put that in writing before you sign.
Can we put every branch on one agreement?
Yes.
One agreement covers head office and every branch, with one monthly figure, one invoice and one number to call.
There is more on managing a printer fleet across several branches.
What does colour cost on a lease?
Colour sits inside your monthly figure up to your page allowance.
Past the allowance you pay the per page rate on the extra pages only.
That rate is written on your quote before you sign.
For a rough number first, try the work out the monthly cost yourself.
What happens when we open another office?
It joins the agreement mid term.
A machine of the same size goes in on the same terms and the same renewal date as the rest of the group.
Is leasing cheaper than buying our machines outright?
It depends on your volumes and how long you keep equipment.
A lease swaps a large up front purchase for one monthly figure with toner, parts and service folded in.
If buying outright suits your group better, we will tell you.
What if a machine goes down in campaign season?
You call one number and service is booked, typically within one business day.
Because cover sits inside the monthly figure, the technician’s visit doesn’t become an extra invoice.
Does it print A3 floor plans at full size?
Yes.
An A3 machine prints the full A3 sheet, so a plan set at 1:100 comes out at 1:100.
Do we have to leave our current provider all at once?
No.
Groups usually move office by office as each existing deal ends.
We write the quote around those renewal dates, so you never pay two suppliers for the same month.
