Pricing & Leasing

Finding the right copier/printer vendor is much like choosing a long-term business partner. You want someone who understands your goals, communicates clearly, and supports you long after the paperwork is signed. A copier contract isn’t something you enter lightly. Depending on your print setup, you may be working with that vendor for years. So, it makes sense to step back and ask a simple but important question:

“Are we actually the right fit for each other?”

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we value fit just as much as you do. We understand that when expectations, needs, and values align, everything runs more smoothly, from installation to ongoing service.

But when the match is off, even small issues can cause unnecessary frustration and disrupt your entire workflow.

If only buying a new office printer were as cheap as one might hope.

Unfortunately, a high-quality printer is more expensive than one might think.

This is especially the case when you’re dealing with commercial or production-grade machines. These can easily cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars.

If you’ve started shopping and found the machine you need, you’re likely wondering how you’ll pay for it and what your options are.  

Fortunately, you have multiple payment options at your disposal, so you don’t have to take on such a hefty short-term business cost if you don’t have the financial means or desire to do so.   

As print vendors, we’ve worked with customers for over 35 years to help them find not just the right printer, but also the smartest way to pay for it.

Inflation affects everything, from groceries to gas to office technology. If you're a business, school, hospital, or any organization trying to upgrade or replace your printers, you already know this. Prices are higher. Delivery timelines are longer. And budgets are tighter than ever.

But inflation doesn't mean you're stuck overpaying or settling for a less-than-ideal machine. As print vendors who help organizations like yours find the right printers every day, we know how to help you navigate rising prices while still getting what you need.

Below are three proven tips to help you make a smart printer investment (even during inflation) and position your print environment for long-term savings.

Investing in a high-quality copier or multifunction printer (MFP) can streamline workflows. It can also reduce long-term costs and improve document security and productivity, especially when choosing a leasing option.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we've spent over 35 years helping businesses make smart, cost-effective printing decisions. Whether you're considering an office copier for the first time or weighing your next upgrade, this guide covers the pros and cons of investing in a copier to help you decide what’s right for your business.

Are you in the market for a new printer for your business or organization? If so, you’ve probably put together a budget, whether it’s a rough idea of your upfront spending or (if you choose to lease) a clear monthly leasing amount you can manage.

However, if you’re not familiar with the copier and printer industry, you might find yourself confused by the pricing and the various factors that influence it.

Unless you're planning to grab a basic printer from Walmart—which, let’s be honest, isn’t the best choice—you’ll likely be engaging in a service agreement with a print vendor. This means committing to a specific number of color and black-and-white prints each month.
