useful answers
finance and rental FAQs.
Which printer payment option is right for my business?
It depends on how you prefer to pay, whether ownership matters, how long you need the equipment and the level of ongoing support you want. ion will assess your requirements and help you compare outright purchase, rental and lease, managed print services and short-term rental.
What is the difference between equipment rental and lease?
A rental does not transfer ownership. A lease gives you the option to take ownership at the end of the agreement. We can explain the detailed mechanics when we discuss the equipment and term that suit your business.
What terms are available for equipment rental and lease?
Available terms are 24, 36, 48 or 60 months. We will help you compare these against the equipment, expected use and support you need.
Is servicing included?
An accompanying service agreement is required for rental, lease and short-term rental. Managed print services include servicing and support. With outright purchase, you can choose an ongoing service agreement or time-and-materials support.
How do managed print services work?
ion assesses your requirements and brings equipment, servicing and support together with an all-inclusive cost per copy and agreed print volumes included. We monitor usage, help optimise the fleet over time and can discuss suitable adjustments as your needs change.
How long can I rent a printer for?
Short-term rental options are available monthly, for 6 or 12 months, or for a longer period. They can support temporary offices, projects and other changing requirements.
Can ion arrange finance for production or commercial print equipment?
Yes. We assess the complete production print configuration, including the press, software, feeding and finishing, expected volumes, applications and project timing, then discuss the relevant payment options.
