How Much Does It Cost to Lease a Printer or Copier?
Most vendors make you fill out a form to learn anything about price. We'd rather show you. Cost depends on your monthly print volume (black & white vs. color), the equipment tier (new, certified remanufactured, or used), and the agreement structure. The examples below show all-inclusive ABT equipment-and-service programs; traditional FMV, lease-to-own, and direct-financing structures may be priced differently.
| Monthly Volume | Equipment Tier | All-In Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 B&W + 1,000 color | Used device | ~$200/mo |
| 10,000 B&W + 1,000 color | Certified remanufactured | ~$250/mo |
| 10,000 B&W + 1,000 color | New device | ~$300/mo |
| 2,000 B&W + 5,000 color | Used device | ~$300/mo |
| 2,000 B&W + 5,000 color | Certified remanufactured | ~$350/mo |
| 2,000 B&W + 5,000 color | New device | ~$400/mo |
Real customer accounts, rounded. These examples are all-inclusive ABT equipment-and-service programs covering the device, service, toner, and parts. They are not universal lease prices; FMV, lease-to-own, subscription, and direct-financing structures can differ. Color volume drives cost more than black & white, so two accounts with the same total pages can price very differently.
All-Inclusive Program Cost Estimator
Ballpark estimate for an all-inclusive ABT equipment-and-service program based on current customer pricing. Traditional FMV, lease-to-own, and direct-financing structures may price differently. Your exact rate depends on device configuration, agreement type, volume, and term.
Get My Exact RateLease vs. Buy: Which Is Better for Your Business?
Buying can make sense when an organization has available capital, expects to keep the same equipment for many years, and is comfortable managing service, supplies, and eventual replacement costs. Leasing is often the better fit when predictable expenses, included support, and flexibility matter more than owning the hardware.
Buying a Business Printer or Copier
Advantages
- ✓You own the equipment immediately.
- ✓There is no monthly equipment payment after the purchase is complete.
- ✓It may provide the lowest long-term hardware cost when a reliable device is kept for many years.
Considerations
- —A larger upfront investment can tie up working capital.
- —Repair bills, toner, parts, and maintenance remain separate expenses unless a service plan is added.
- —The organization assumes the risk of downtime and aging technology.
- —Replacing or upgrading the equipment requires another capital purchase.
Leasing a Business Printer or Copier
Advantages
- ✓Lower upfront cost preserves cash for payroll, growth, and other business priorities.
- ✓Predictable monthly expenses make budgeting easier.
- ✓Service, toner, and parts can be included in one all-inclusive payment.
- ✓Equipment can be upgraded as the organization grows or its needs change.
- ✓Every ABT lease can be exited at any point with 30 days' notice, free equipment pickup, and no buyout.
Considerations
- —A monthly payment continues while the agreement remains active.
- —The best value comes from selecting equipment and page allowances that match actual usage.
For many growing businesses, leasing provides lower financial risk, more predictable operating costs, and an easier path to equipment upgrades than purchasing outright. The right answer still depends on your cash position, expected print volume, growth plans, and how long you intend to keep the equipment. ABT can compare both options using your real numbers before you make a decision. For a plain-English review of FMV leases, $1-out agreements, subscription structures, escalators, buyouts, and renewal terms, read Copier Lease Agreements Explained.
Lease, Lease-to-Own, Subscription, or Finance — Your Call
Because we finance in-house instead of selling your agreement to a third-party leasing company, we can structure terms around what your business actually needs — not what a bank's underwriting template allows.
Our complete printer leasing guide explains when FMV, lease-to-own, subscription, and direct-financing models tend to fit different budgets and ownership goals.
Fair Market Value Lease
The lowest monthly payment. Use the equipment for the term, then upgrade to newer hardware, extend, return it, or purchase it at fair market value. Ideal if you always want current technology without owning aging devices. Includes the ABT 30-day exit.
Lease-to-Own
Slightly higher monthly payment, but at the end of the term the device is yours for $1. The right fit when you want to build equity in equipment you plan to keep long-term. Includes the ABT 30-day exit.
All-Inclusive Per-Page
Hardware-as-a-service: the device, all service, toner, and parts wrapped into usage-based billing. Costs scale with what you actually print. The model behind the pricing examples above. If you need one standard business MFP and prefer a published monthly price with no routine page-overage billing, see ABT Flat-Rate Business Printing.
Flexible Direct Financing
We finance directly — no third-party leasing company, no rigid underwriting. That means faster approvals, custom term lengths, and agreements shaped to your cash flow and budget cycle.
A Flexible Lease Exit Most Vendors Won't Match: 30 Days' Notice, No Buyout.
The industry standard copier lease runs 36 to 60 months with a punishing early-termination buyout. Ours doesn't. Every ABT lease — fair market value or $1-out — includes a 30-day exit. At any point during your term, if your needs change — you downsize, move, grow, or simply aren't happy — give us 30 days' notice and we'll pick up the device at no cost. No buyout schedule, no return freight, no crating fees, no penalty math, no lawyers.
Want the hard drive securely wiped before the device leaves your office? That's included for ABT Concierge customers and available for an additional fee otherwise. And if you stay through the end of your term, you can purchase the equipment at your lease's buyout price — $1 or fair market value.
We can offer that because we own our equipment and our financing. A returned device goes back to work for another customer. And because you can always leave, we have a permanent incentive to keep earning your business with service that shows up.
How to Get Out of Your Current Lease Cleanly
Most copier leases aren't built to be left. If you're in one with another provider, these five steps protect you from the most common and expensive mistakes.
Find Your Notice Window
Most leases renew automatically unless you give written notice, often 90–150 days before the term ends. Find the date now and send notice by certified mail.
Get an Itemized Payoff Quote
Ask for the equipment balance, service balance, and buyout amount listed separately — especially if service is bundled into your lease payment.
Never Roll a Buyout Into New Equipment
Adding your old balance to a new lease puts you upside down fast, and every upgrade makes the next buyout bigger.
Run the Stay-or-Switch Math
Compare the cost of staying with the cost of switching over the same months. More often than not, waiting for the end of the term wins.
Wipe the Hard Drive Before It Leaves
Copiers store copies of what they scan, print, and fax. Get written confirmation that stored documents were erased before any device is picked up.
From a Single Small-Business Printer to Enterprise Fleets
Printer Leasing for Small Business
Small businesses can choose from traditional lease, direct-financing, subscription, and usage-based structures instead of being forced into one copier contract model. Desktop and workgroup printers or multifunction systems can be matched to your actual volume, budget, and support needs. Businesses comparing leasing with purchasing can review the lease-versus-buy guidance before deciding which path best fits their budget.
- ✓Compact commercial printers and multifunction systems matched to your real monthly volume
- ✓All-inclusive equipment-and-service options can cover toner, parts, and repairs
- ✓Used and certified remanufactured tiers can keep monthly cost low
- ✓Onsite installation in staffed markets or remote onboarding for eligible compact systems
- ✓30-day exit on ABT lease agreements — grow or change without a buyout
Eligible compact systems can be prepared by ABT and shipped directly to your location. Once the device is connected to power and your network, ABT can complete supported configuration remotely, including print drivers, scan-to-email, and other device settings. Remote-market compact placements may include ABT Concierge at $7.95/month for ongoing remote support.
If a hardware issue occurs, ABT first diagnoses it remotely. Replaceable components may be shipped directly when appropriate, qualified local service can be coordinated for hands-on repairs, and eligible compact systems can be exchanged when a major failure cannot be resolved efficiently.
If you do not need a traditional copier lease, ABT Flat-Rate Business Printing may be the simpler fit: $89/month B&W or $149/month Color with the equipment, toner, service, and Hot Swap included.

Plan Your Exit →Printer & Copier Leasing FAQ
For all-inclusive agreements (device + service + toner + parts), current customers pay roughly $200–$400 per month depending on volume and equipment tier. For example, an office printing 10,000 B&W and 1,000 color pages monthly pays about $200/mo on a used device or $300/mo on new; a color-heavy office at 2,000 B&W and 5,000 color pages pays about $300–$400/mo. Color volume affects cost far more than black & white. Use the estimator above for your own numbers.
Three steps: tell us your monthly volume and needs, we recommend a device tier (new, certified remanufactured, or used) and agreement type (FMV lease, lease-to-own, subscription, or direct financing), and we coordinate onboarding. In staffed markets that may include onsite installation; eligible compact systems can also be shipped directly and configured remotely once connected to your network. Because financing is in-house, approval is fast and terms are flexible.
An FMV (Fair Market Value) lease has the lowest monthly payment; at the end of the term you upgrade, extend, return the device, or purchase it at fair market value. A $1-out lease-to-own costs slightly more per month, but the equipment becomes yours for $1 at term end. Choose FMV if you want to stay on current technology; choose lease-to-own if you plan to keep the device for years. Both include the ABT 30-day exit.
Yes — all of them, plus Xerox, Konica Minolta, Toshiba, Brother, and other major manufacturers. We lease and service a wide range of brands in new, certified remanufactured, and used tiers, and our managed print service supports mixed-brand fleets you already own.
Yes. Nationwide support is available for eligible single-device, multi-location, and enterprise programs. Depending on the equipment and location, ABT may support the device through direct technicians, remote troubleshooting and configuration, shipped replacement components, qualified local service resources, or equipment exchange when a major issue cannot be resolved efficiently. That gives customers one accountable service partner without requiring an ABT-employed technician in every city.
Used devices offer the lowest monthly cost and are fully serviced under the same all-inclusive coverage. Certified remanufactured is the value sweet spot — professionally rebuilt, inspected business-class equipment at roughly $50/mo less than new. New devices make sense when you want the latest features and hardware. Since service, toner, and parts are included at every tier, reliability is our responsibility regardless of which you choose.
The right choice depends on available cash, expected print volume, planned ownership period, service requirements, technology needs, and how much flexibility the organization wants. Purchasing may fit an organization prepared for the upfront cost and long-term maintenance responsibility. Leasing may fit an organization that values predictable monthly costs, included support, and an easier upgrade path. Our lease-versus-buy guidance compares both options in more detail.
Yes. Every ABT lease, FMV or $1-out, can be exited at any point during the term with 30 days' notice and no buyout. Unlike the industry-standard 36–60 month contract with early termination penalties, we pick up the device at no cost if your situation changes — no return freight or crating fees. Secure hard drive wiping is included for ABT Concierge customers and available for a fee otherwise. We own our equipment and financing, so a returned device goes to work for another customer instead of becoming your penalty.
You can purchase the equipment at your lease's buyout price — $1 on a lease-to-own agreement or fair market value on an FMV lease — or upgrade, extend, or return it. If you return it, pickup is free.
No. We coach customers against early buyouts unless the numbers clearly justify one — for example, when the savings from switching programs cover the cost of getting out. We never roll a buyout into a new agreement, because it quickly leaves you owing more than the equipment is worth. Our guide on how to get out of a copier lease walks through the stay-or-switch math, and we're happy to run it with you.
