Printer & Photocopier Leasing Tailored to Your Organisation
Choosing new office printing equipment isn't simply about deciding which printer or photocopier to lease.
The right solution depends on how your organisation prints, copies and scans, how many people use the equipment, your monthly print volumes, document workflows, security requirements and budget.
Connect will assess your requirements and make a tailored recommendation for equipment based on suitability, reliability, performance and overall value.
As an independent supplier, we are not restricted to one manufacturer, so we can recommend the best equipment for your individual needs.
Connect can supply everything from a single business printer or multifunction device to multiple printers and photocopiers across larger or multi-site organisations.
Printer, Photocopier or Multifunction Device?
Modern office print equipment increasingly combines multiple functions, and choosing the right equipment can seem overwhelming.
Rather than starting with a particular machine, Connect's experienced staff look at what your organisation needs the machines to do. We find out how your organisation works, who uses the machines, how often, and what the most common uses are. We then match the best equipment to you.
Office and business printers are ideal where printing is the primary requirement. Options range from smaller workgroup machines through to high-capacity devices designed for busy offices.

Ask Connect for adviceWhy Lease Your Office Printing Equipment?
Connect ensures that you get the best equipment recommendations for your individual business or organisation's printing needs. You can then choose an outright purchase, or you could lease the machines.
Printer and photocopier leasing may be a great choice for your business. With lower upfront costs, leasing allows organisations to access professional office printing equipment while spreading the cost.
Rather than paying the full purchase cost at the outset, leasing spreads the cost through manageable payments.
Regular payments can make budgeting for new office equipment easier and help organisations plan expenditure. Connect can spread the cost of equipment through manageable monthly payments, typically over three or five years.
Leasing makes it possible to use modern business printers, photocopiers and multifunction devices without a significant initial capital purchase. Leasing can also make upgrading easier.
Your office printers and copiers can be selected around your actual print volumes, users, workflows and future requirements rather than simply purchasing an off-the-shelf machine.
Your lease can be supported by installation, servicing, maintenance and technical support from Connect's experienced team.
Flexible Printer & Photocopier Lease Options
Connect has worked with many businesses and organisations and we understand that different organisations require different approaches to financing their print equipment.
Connect listens to understand what your print needs are and what you're budgeting for. We then explain what your available options are and recommend an arrangement suited to your circumstances.
Three-Year Leasing
A popular option for organisations looking to spread costs while retaining flexibility over future equipment requirements.
Five-Year Leasing
Longer-term leasing can suit organisations looking for predictable costs over a greater period.
Rolling Short-Term Agreements
Where greater flexibility is required, rolling arrangements may be available depending on the equipment and circumstances.
Purchase
Leasing isn't right for everybody. If purchasing equipment outright provides better value for your organisation, we can discuss this option too. This is generally where the amount you print monthly is low.
Connect prides itself on offering impartial advice and recommendations that are the best for your business or organisation, rather than pushing you towards a particular finance option.
Find out how we can help you make the best choiceHow Our Printer & Photocopier Leasing Process Works
Connect works with businesses and organisations to make finding and leasing office printing equipment straightforward and stress-free.
Understanding Your Requirements
We start by discussing your existing printers and photocopiers, monthly print volumes, who uses the equipment, document workflows, budget and any problems with your current setup.
Recommending the Right Equipment
Based on our findings, we assess whether a printer, photocopier, multifunction device or combination of machines will provide the best solution. Because Connect is independent, recommendations can be made from a range of leading manufacturers.
Providing a Clear Quotation
We provide a straightforward quotation covering the recommended equipment and leasing arrangement, together with any support services you may require.
Installation & Configuration
Connect's experienced engineers can install and configure your new equipment and help to ensure it works effectively within your organisation.
Ongoing Support
After installation, we can continue supporting your equipment through servicing, maintenance, technical support, Service Level Agreements and Managed Print Services.

Leasing a Single Printer or an Entire Printer Fleet
Printer and photocopier leasing isn't limited to large businesses.
Connect works with organisations requiring anything from a single office device through to organisations needing larger banks of printers and copiers.
For a smaller office, the most effective option could be a single multifunction printer capable of handling printing, scanning and copying. A larger organisation may require several different devices positioned across departments or locations.
Where there are various devices working across an organisation, Connect considers their functions and how the equipment works together as a whole. The solution we recommend will be considered rather than simply replacing each machine individually.
This can help identify unnecessary devices, see which devices are working well, recognise inefficient workflows and discover opportunities to consolidate equipment.
Connect's services are tailored to your organisation, and our recommendations are based on a thorough understanding of your print needs.

Leasing vs Buying Printers & Photocopiers
With many years in the trade, Connect knows that there isn't one option that is right for every organisation.
Leasing may be particularly suitable where you want to:
- Reduce the initial capital investment
- Spread equipment costs
- Keep payments predictable
- Access modern office technology
- Review or update equipment as requirements change
Purchasing may be more appropriate where:
- Outright ownership is preferred
- Lower print volumes suggest purchase is more prudent
- Keeping equipment for a longer period offers better overall value
Leasing is a great option but there are instances where purchase offers better value. As an independent company, we will assess your print requirements and discuss the available options based on your circumstances.
Talk to us about leasing or purchasingCombine Leasing with Managed Print Services
For organisations operating several printers or photocopiers, leasing can form part of a wider Managed Print Service.
Rather than treating every printer as an individual piece of equipment, Managed Print Services look at your entire print environment.
This can include supply and installation, monitoring devices, managing consumables, providing ongoing maintenance and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and control print costs.
With managed print services Connect can show you how you can streamline workflows, reduce print costs and improve the reliability of your print and copy jobs.
Printer & Photocopier Leasing FAQs
