Copier rental and leasing

You can rent a copier instead of buying it. Copier rental spreads the cost into a monthly amount, and we arrange it through APEX Rental Finance with any quote. We offer month-to-month agreements and longer-term rentals on copiers.

People use different words for the same thing: copier hire, an office printer lease, a commercial printer lease, a copy machine lease, or simply wanting to rent a printer. Each one is a rental agreement. A lease is a rental over a longer term.

After the initial rental period you have the option to buy the equipment at a discounted rate, or to carry on renting.

Office printer rental

Printer rental works the same way as copier rental. Our Toshiba multifunction copiers are office printers too: one machine prints, copies and scans, in colour or black-and-white, on A4 or A3.

Tell us roughly how much you print and we will match a Toshiba e-STUDIO series to it.

Questions about multifunction office copiers

Should I rent or buy a copier?

Renting a copier spreads the cost into a monthly amount and usually includes service, so it suits most small businesses. Buying a copier costs more upfront but you own the machine. Outsource Digital offers both.

Which copier size do I need?

The copier size you need depends on how many pages you print a month, whether you need colour, and whether you print A3. Tell us roughly how much you print and we'll match a series to it.

What is a multifunction copier?

A multifunction copier is one machine that prints, copies and scans, with fax as an option on some models. It replaces a separate printer, copier and scanner.

Can it scan straight to email or a folder?

Yes. Outsource Digital sets up scan-to-email and scan-to-folder on your network when we install your copier.

Who services the copier and supplies toner?

Outsource Digital's own technicians service the copiers we install. Toner and servicing are covered by your service level agreement.

Do you install across South Africa?

Yes. Outsource Digital is a national supplier. Our Midrand head office serves the whole of South Africa, with agents throughout the country and national support, and our Nelspruit branch serves the whole of Mpumalanga.

Can I rent month to month?

Yes. You can rent a copier month to month. Outsource Digital offers month-to-month agreements and longer-term rentals on phones and copiers.

Can I lease a copy machine?

Yes. A copy machine lease is a rental over a longer term, arranged through APEX Rental Finance with any quote.

Do you hire out copiers?

Yes. You can hire (rent) a Toshiba multifunction copier month to month or on a longer-term rental.

How do I get a photocopier quote?

For a photocopier quote, WhatsApp Outsource Digital on 011 466 8510 with roughly how many pages you print a month, and whether you need colour or A3. We reply with a quote to rent, lease or buy.

Can I lease a photocopier?

A photocopier lease is available with any quote from Outsource Digital. A lease is a rental over a longer term, arranged through APEX Rental Finance. You pay a monthly amount instead of a large payment upfront, we install the copier, and our own technicians service it under your service level agreement.

Is it better to buy or lease a copier?

Buying or leasing a copier comes down to your cash flow and how long you will keep the machine. A lease spreads the cost into a monthly amount with no large payment upfront, and usually includes service. Buying costs more upfront, and then the machine is yours. Outsource Digital quotes both ways so you can compare.

How do copier leases work?

A copier lease works like this: you choose a copier, and Outsource Digital arranges the lease through APEX Rental Finance. You pay a monthly amount, we install the copier, and our own technicians service it. After the initial rental period you can buy the equipment at a discounted rate or carry on renting.

What affects the cost of renting a copier in South Africa?

The cost of copier rental depends on how many pages you print a month, colour or black-and-white, A3 or A4, the speed of the machine, and how long you rent for. We do not publish prices: WhatsApp us on 011 466 8510 for a quote.

Is it cheaper to rent or buy a printer?

Renting or buying a printer can each work out cheaper: it depends on how much you print and how long you keep the machine. Renting has no large upfront cost and usually includes service. Buying costs more upfront, and then the machine is yours. Outsource Digital quotes both ways so you can compare the two.

Month to month or long-term rental?

Month-to-month and longer-term rentals are both available from Outsource Digital, on copiers and on phones. Month to month suits a business that wants flexibility. A longer-term lease suits a business that knows what it will need, with one monthly amount over the term. Tell us how you work and we quote the option that fits.
