Introduction: The Modern Office Challenge
Every business, no matter its size, runs on documents. From contracts and invoices to marketing materials and reports, your printers and copiers are critical workhorses. But in 2025, when technology evolves faster than ever, the old habit of buying office machines outright is becoming less practical.
Why? Because purchasing means owning outdated technology, paying hefty repair costs, and tying up cash in depreciating assets. More and more Central Texas businesses are choosing smart printer leasing plans, which deliver the latest hardware, ongoing maintenance, and predictable costs.
At Texas Office Machines, we’ve seen businesses save thousands by switching to flexible leasing plans that include toner, service, and upgrades. Whether you’re a small business in Austin, a school district in Georgetown, or a corporate office in Round Rock, leasing lets you focus on what you do best—while we handle the machines.
Why Leasing Is Beating Buying in 2025
1) Stay Ahead of Technology
Printer and copier technology is evolving—fast. Buying a device locks you into technology that could be obsolete within 3–5 years. Leasing means you always have access to newer, faster, and more efficient models without the burden of replacement costs.
2) No Large Upfront Costs
Buying a commercial printer can cost $5,000–$15,000+ for mid-range models and far more for high-volume units. Leasing allows you to spread costs into predictable monthly payments that don’t wreck your cash flow.
3) Maintenance Included
One of the biggest perks of leasing through Texas Office Machines is that maintenance and service are built into your plan. When something breaks, we fix it. We also include toner and supplies, ensuring your office never stalls due to a paper jam or low ink.
4) Scalability for Growing Businesses
Leasing lets you upgrade or downgrade machines as your business changes. Whether you’re adding new employees or shifting to hybrid work, you can adjust your equipment needs on the fly.
5) Tax Benefits
Leasing payments are often 100% tax-deductible as an operational expense, whereas buying involves complex depreciation schedules.
What’s Included in a Texas Office Machines Lease?
We don’t just drop off a copier—we provide end-to-end support. Our leasing packages typically include:
-
Monthly flat-rate pricing with toner, service calls, and parts.

Upgrades and replacement if your needs outgrow your current model.

The Real Cost of Buying vs Leasing
Buying:
-
Large upfront cost ($5k+ for commercial-grade printers).
-
Ongoing costs for toner, parts, and repairs.
-
Responsibility for upgrades and eventual replacements.
Leasing:
-
Low monthly payment (often $100–$300/month depending on the model).
-
Toner, service, and maintenance included.
-
Option to upgrade without the sunk cost of ownership.
Example:
A 50-person office in Austin recently switched from buying to leasing with Texas Office Machines. They saved over $8,000 annually, eliminated downtime from breakdowns, and now enjoy priority service calls at no extra charge.
