To most of the world, printer leases and printer rentals are the same thing.  But if you want to get into jargon…To the copier company itself, a copier rental is a little different than a copier lease.  Copier rentals are usually financed in house, and printer leases are financed by a 3rd party.  Rentals are usually more expensive than leases, because of this.

This is probably the most common copier leasing question we get.  The State of Florida usually requires a document stamp fee, to file it with the state.  You will also see some kind of insurance charge.  This is because the bank owns the copier printer, and you are leasing it from them.  Most of the time, you can call the copier leasing company, and have this removed, if you have it on your insurance.

Almost all photocopier leases state that the lease does not provide for any kind of warranty for the copier printer.  At first, people may freak out about this, until we tell them that the service portion…you know toners, parts, labor etc. is done directly through us.  This is the warranty.  Your commercial printer is fully covered! For Example, we offer a minolta copier repair  instead of a “warranty.”

This one had me perplexed, and I think this is just blindly put in most copier contracts.  Almost all copier leasing companies have a vested interest in transferring a lease to another company.  Let’s say someone buys the business mid lease?  Are you going to hold up a business sale for a copier lease?  No, they seller will say screw you.  Well the bottom line is most leasing companies transfer leases, even though the documents say they won’t…Hmm
