Printing should be simple, but for many Sydney businesses, it’s a frustrating, expensive headache.

Common Printing Frustrations Businesses Face

- Unpredictable invoices – Separate bills for toner, servicing, and emergency repairs make costs hard to track.
- Downtime & disruptions – Equipment failures lead to urgent call-outs, lost productivity, and frustrated staff.
- Multiple vendors to manage – Finance teams waste time handling invoices, purchase orders, and supply logistics.
- Hidden printing waste – 15% of print jobs are never collected, wasting toner, paper, and budget.
- Uncontrolled spending – Without monitoring, print costs fluctuate—often higher than expected.

Leasing a copier is a cost-effective way to access high-quality printing equipment without the large upfront expense of purchasing it outright. However, many businesses are now moving beyond basic leasing and choosing Managed Print Services (MPS) to further reduce costs, improve efficiency, and simplify operations.

In This Guide, We’ll Break Down:

- How much it costs to lease a copier
- What’s included in your monthly leasing fee
- How Managed Print Services (MPS) can help businesses save 10-40% on printing costs

A Smarter Way to Lease: Managed Print Services & Unlimited Printing

While standard leasing provides equipment and servicing, many businesses waste money on inefficient print setups, multiple suppliers, and supply shortages. That’s where Managed Print Plans (MPS) or Unlimited Print Plans come in and are the most popular choice when looking to lease one or many machines.

Managed Print Services (MPS) – Full-Service Print Management

- All-inclusive monthly cost – Covers copier leasing, toner, and maintenance.
- Preventative maintenance & fast servicing – Prevents breakdowns before they happen, and priority service.
- Remote monitoring & automatic toner delivery – Supplies arrive before you run out.
- Software such as Follow-Me Printing included – Reduces waste, improves security, and prevents unclaimed print jobs.


How Much Can You Save with a Managed Print Service?

A Managed Print Plan offers an agreed cost per mono (black & white) and colour page that includes volume, equipment and service across all print devices. In addition to delivering cost savings ranging from 10 to 40%, other benefits include assisting in budgeting and allocation of costs to the appropriate business unit, and eliminating the need to deal with multiple vendors (as a single point of contact improves communication and accountability).

Most importantly, it removes the responsibility of managing your print platform, leaving you free to concentrate on your business.

- Unclaimed print job reductionFollow-Me Printing prevents 15% of print waste, reducing toner & paper use.
- Automated cost control – Fewer admin hours wasted on invoices and supplier management.
- Lower service costs – Preventative maintenance ensures fewer breakdowns and faster service.
