There's a new kind of copier lease in town- the cost per copy deal, also known as fleet management. In a cost per copy lease, you would pay a flat fee per click for copier service.

Some cost per copy deals are supplies inclusive and some are not. Make sure you understand exactly what the costs will be for supplies and whether they are part of the flat rate per click.

The best aspects of an equipment lease structured as a cost per copy deal is that you don't have to worry about service or stocking supplies. This is a convenient arrangement in which your costs are fixed according to the volume of copies you do under your equipment leasing payment structure.

The key to examining whether a cost per copy lease makes sense financially is to look at the volume of copies you will be doing. If you are running a large number of prints, it may make sense to lease the equipment outright.
