Cost of Hiring A3 Laser Printers
The cost of hiring an A3 laser printer will depend on the specifications selected and the length of hire period. To hire a monochrome A3 printer for a period of less than a week can cost from thirty pounds upwards, whereas a colour A3 printer can cost from forty pounds upwards. A monochrome A3 printer hired for a year can cost from twenty five pounds per month inclusive of a number of free copies, and a colour A3 copier can cost from thirty five pounds per month. When calculating the cost of hire you will need to have a good idea of how many prints in both colour and black and white you will complete each month as over a certain number of prints suppliers will charge per page printed. Some contracts also require you reach a minimum print level each month. Most suppliers have websites offering free quotation services allowing you to shop around for the best deal.
Other considerations
When hiring an A3 printer you need to be sure what is included in the hire price. Some contracts will include the cost of toner and maintenance but others will not, and this can make a significant difference to the total cost of the rental. Another important consideration is the level of maintenance offered. Printers can be a crucial part of a business, and you will need to know how long you are prepared to be without one should it need repairing. Some hire contracts offer engineers out within a specified timescale, but this is not true of all contracts. Lastly check if there are any costs associated with ending the contract early.
