Printer Rentals: Save Money and Get Better Equipment
Nowadays, you can rent everything from cars to televisions, laptops, camping gear, and printers. Why do so many businesses now opt for rentals as opposed to buying equipment? Read on to discover the ins and outs of printer rentals to learn why your firm will want to consider renting as opposed to buying office equipment.
Save on Tax
South African citizens are amongst the highest taxed citizens in the world. Companies are not doing much better. One way to reduce tax expenses is to opt for printer rentals as opposed to outright purchases. Sure, you can deduct tax for the original purchase of a machine, but it is a once-off deduction. What if it were possible to save money with every month passing on equipment lease? With the machine rentals, service agreement fee, and the consumables being monthly tax-deductible expenses, you have no reason not to rent equipment.
Upgrade to New Technology
Printing equipment is expensive at any rate. This is especially true if you have to install multifunctional printers across all departments, one or two wide-format units, several desktop ones, and a specialised printing device or two. When it comes to printing, it is not about keeping up with for appearance. It is about efficiency, and newer technology is usually more efficient. To keep your business competitive, you also need the most efficient and streamlined equipment.
If your competitors are able to save on energy costs because they have multifunctional printers that can handle the tasks of several types of equipment, and you are still stuck with older technology, you lose the battle. Office overheads eat into your profits. Energy usage, maintenance, slow machines, and the likes are money hungry. You need to upgrade to the best technology whenever possible.
Of course, you can upgrade every five years even when you buy the printers, but are you able to recoup the investment costs within five years? If not, then rentals are the better options. In this way, you can plan upgrades to coincide with the end-of-lease periods.
Service and Maintenance
Many printer rentals come with service and maintenance agreements. If you do not have a service contract for a machine, you may have to pay hefty call-out and repair fees for technicians. The older the machines become, the more you can expect to call the technicians. Unless they have a service agreement with you, do not expect them to be available whenever needed. With printer rentals, you can include preventative maintenance in the service agreements.
Just like with any other device, a printer needs to be cleaned and tested for proper working on a regular basis. Hiring a full-time technician for the job is not worth it, even if you have several machines. With printer rentals, you even get free software to alert you about low paper, toner, or ink. The usage statistics and access control gained enable you to control costs while benefiting from machines that are kept in working condition.
Here is more good news – the machines are serviced on-site to minimise downtime. When a machine must go to the workshop, you get a replacement one for the time.
