Uganda's #1 Printer Leasing Company [Managed Printing Services]

Zero upfront costs. All maintenance included. Free consumables. Serving 107+ businesses across Uganda since 2021. Lease Ricoh, Kyocera, Canon, and Bizhub printers with complete peace of mind.

What is Printer Leasing?

Printer leasing is a cost-effective alternative to purchasing printing equipment outright. As a specialized printer leasing company, we provide businesses with access to commercial-grade printers and copiers through affordable monthly payments, eliminating large upfront capital expenses.

How Printer Leasing Works

Instead of spending UGX 3-6 million to buy a printer, you pay a fixed monthly fee (typically UGX 200,000 - 800,000 depending on the machine). This monthly payment covers:

  • The printer equipment
  • All maintenance and repairs
  • Toner and consumables
  • Technical support
  • Installation and training

Perfect For Growing Businesses

Printer leasing is ideal for businesses that need professional printing capabilities but want to preserve working capital for core operations. It's predictable, budgetable, and eliminates surprise repair costs.

Flexible Terms

Lease terms typically range from 12 to 36 months. At the end of the term, you can upgrade to newer equipment, continue leasing, or purchase the printer at a reduced rate.

Why Choose Axe Print as Your Printer Leasing Company?

As Uganda's leading printer leasing company, we've helped 107+ organizations reduce their printing costs by UGX 280 million collectively. Here's what sets us apart:

🚫 Zero Upfront Costs

Unlike other printer leasing companies that require deposits or installation fees, we provide everything with no initial investment. Get your printer installed tomorrow with zero payment today.

🔧 Free Maintenance Forever

Your lease includes unlimited repairs and maintenance. Whether it's a paper jam or a major mechanical issue, our expert technicians respond within 24 hours at no extra cost.

🖨️ All Consumables Included

Forget about buying toner cartridges. We supply all consumables (toner, drums, developer) as part of your monthly payment. Never worry about running out of supplies.

Same-Day Installation

Printer Leasing vs Buying: Which is Better?

Many businesses wonder whether to lease or purchase a printer. Here's an honest comparison from a printer leasing company with 4 years of experience:

Factor Leasing Buying
Upfront Cost Zero (UGX 0) UGX 3-6 million
Monthly Expenses Fixed & predictable Variable (toner, repairs)
Maintenance Included All repairs covered You pay per repair
Consumables (Toner) Included in lease UGX 200-600k each
Technology Upgrades Upgrade every 2-3 years Stuck with old equipment
Tax Benefits Monthly expense deductible Depreciation deductible
Risk of Equipment Failure Leasing company's problem Your financial burden
Obsolescence Risk Return & upgrade You own old equipment
Cash Flow Impact Preserve working capital Large capital expenditure
Best For Growing businesses, schools, offices Businesses with excess capital

Our Recommendation

For 95% of businesses, leasing is the better choice. You get professional equipment without tying up capital, predictable monthly costs, and no surprise repair bills. Buying only makes sense if you're a very large organization with dedicated IT staff and deep pockets for repairs.

The Complete Benefits of Printer Leasing

Why smart businesses choose leasing over purchasing

1. Preserve Working Capital

Instead of spending UGX 3-6 million on a printer, use that capital for inventory, marketing, or hiring. Leasing requires zero upfront investment, improving your cash position.

2. Predictable Monthly Expenses

Your lease payment is fixed every month. No surprise toner costs (UGX 200-600k each), no unexpected repair bills (UGX 300-800k), no budget overruns. Just one predictable expense.

3. Tax Deductible Expenses

Lease payments are fully tax-deductible business expenses. This reduces your taxable income more immediately than equipment depreciation with purchased printers.

4. No Obsolescence Risk

Printing technology evolves. With leasing, you're never stuck with outdated equipment. At lease end, upgrade to the latest models with better features and efficiency.

5. All Maintenance Included

Paper jams, broken parts, worn components - we fix everything at no cost. Our technicians handle all repairs, usually within 24 hours of your call.

6. Free Consumables

Never buy toner again. We automatically deliver replacement cartridges before you run out. This alone saves most clients UGX 150-400k monthly.

7. Professional Grade Equipment

Access commercial-grade Ricoh, Kyocera, and Canon machines that would cost millions to purchase. Get enterprise-level printing at small business rates.

8. Flexible Terms

Choose 12, 24, or 36-month lease terms based on your business planning horizon. Need to end early? We offer reasonable buyout options.

9. No Repair Downtime

When your printer breaks, productivity stops. With leasing, we prioritize keeping you operational. In severe cases, we can provide a temporary replacement machine.

10. Expert Consultation

We help calculate your true printing needs and recommend the right equipment. No overselling, no undersizing - just the perfect machine for your volume.

11. Network Integration

We install the printer on your network, configure user permissions, set up mobile printing, and train your IT staff on administration.

12. Staff Training

Comprehensive training for your team on basic operation, troubleshooting common issues, loading paper, clearing jams, and requesting supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Printer Leasing

Get answers to common questions about our printer leasing services in Uganda

What is the minimum lease term?
Our minimum lease term is 12 months. We also offer 24-month and 36-month terms. Longer terms typically have lower monthly rates. Most businesses choose 24-month terms as the best balance between cost and flexibility.
Are there any upfront costs or deposits?
No. Zero upfront costs. Unlike other printer leasing companies that charge installation fees or security deposits, we provide everything - delivery, installation, setup, training - at no initial cost. You only start paying from your first monthly invoice.
What's included in the monthly lease payment?
Your monthly payment covers: (1) The printer equipment, (2) All maintenance and repairs, (3) All consumables (toner, drums, developer), (4) Technical support, (5) Emergency call-outs. There are no additional costs for normal operation.
How quickly can you install a printer?
For Kampala clients, we typically install within 24-48 hours of agreement signing. For upcountry locations (Jinja, Mbarara, Gulu, etc.), installation takes 3-5 business days. In urgent cases, we've done same-day installations.
What happens if the printer breaks down?
Call our support line (+256-785-059-662) and we'll dispatch a technician, usually within 24 hours. All repairs are covered in your lease - no additional charges. For major failures that take time to fix, we can provide a temporary replacement machine.
Do I need to buy toner cartridges separately?
No. All toner and consumables are included in your monthly lease payment. When you're running low, call us and we'll deliver replacement cartridges at no cost. This alone saves most clients UGX 200-600k per cartridge.
Can I upgrade to a different machine during the lease?
Yes. If your business grows and you need higher capacity, we can upgrade you to a larger machine. We'll calculate the remaining value of your current lease and apply it to the new one. There's typically a small adjustment fee, but no penalties.
What happens at the end of the lease term?
You have three options: (1) Upgrade to a newer model and start a new lease, (2) Continue leasing the same machine at a reduced monthly rate, or (3) Purchase the printer at its residual value (typically 10-15% of original price). Most clients choose option 1 to get newer technology.
Do you serve areas outside Kampala?
Yes. We serve all major towns in Uganda including Entebbe, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, Mbale, Gulu, Lira, Mbarara, Fort Portal, Masaka, and more. For remote locations, we work with local technicians to provide timely support.
What if I need to cancel the lease early?
While we prefer you complete the term, we understand business circumstances change. Early termination is possible with 30 days notice. There's typically a buyout fee equal to 40-60% of remaining payments, depending on how long you've been leasing.
Is there a maximum number of copies per month?
Yes, each machine has a rated monthly duty cycle. We'll recommend equipment based on your expected volume. If you consistently exceed the limit, we'll discuss upgrading to a higher-capacity model. This protects both you (from equipment wear) and us (from excessive consumable costs).
Do you provide training for our staff?
Yes, comprehensive training is included. During installation, we train your staff (typically 1-2 hours) on: basic operation, loading paper, changing toner, clearing paper jams, using the scanning function, troubleshooting common issues, and when to call support.
What brands of printers do you lease?
We lease printers from major brands including Ricoh, Kyocera, Canon, Konica Minolta (Bizhub), and HP. Each brand has different strengths - we'll recommend the best fit based on your specific needs, budget, and printing volume.
Can I lease multiple printers for different departments?
Absolutely. Many of our corporate clients lease multiple machines - perhaps a high-volume machine for the main office, smaller units for branch offices, and a color printer for marketing. We offer volume discounts for multiple-machine leases.
How do I calculate which printer size I need?
Track your current printing for one typical month. Count: documents printed, copies made, scanned pages. Call us with these numbers and we'll recommend the appropriate machine. As a rule: under 2,000 pages = desktop printer, 2,000-10,000 = small office copier, over 10,000 = commercial machine.

Why Ugandan Businesses Choose Printer Leasing

The business case for working with a printer leasing company vs purchasing equipment

Cash Flow Management

Preserve your working capital for revenue-generating activities. A UGX 4 million printer purchase vs UGX 350,000 monthly lease means you keep UGX 3.65 million in your business for operations, inventory, or marketing.

Accounting Benefits

Lease payments are operating expenses, not capital expenditures. They appear on your P&L (reducing taxable income) rather than your balance sheet. This improves financial ratios important for loan applications.

Reduced Risk

If the printer fails catastrophically after 18 months, it's our problem, not yours. With purchasing, you'd face expensive repairs or replacement. Leasing transfers this equipment risk to us.

Technology Currency

A printer purchased today will be outdated in 3-4 years. With leasing, you can upgrade to newer, faster, more efficient models regularly. Stay current without additional capital outlay.

Simplified IT Management

Your IT staff shouldn't spend time troubleshooting printers. With leasing, printer problems become our responsibility. Your team focuses on your core business technology.

Scalability

As your business grows, easily add more machines or upgrade to higher-capacity equipment. Much harder when you've invested heavily in owned equipment that's now insufficient.
