What is "copy cost"
Copy cost is the unit price per printed page, which usually includes consumables, spare parts, and maintenance. It is added to or replaces the rental fee.
Typical 2025 values (all-inclusive, A4)
- B/W - €0.010 - 0.015 per page.
- Color - €0.06 - 0.10 per page.
What a "fully included printers" contract (really) includes
A well-made all-inclusive contract typically includes: on-site maintenance, spare parts, toner/cartridges, firmware/driver updates, and consumption monitoring. This is standard practice in the copy cost model.
- Contract duration: most commonly 36-60 months
- Rental fee adjustment: some general terms and conditions provide for an annual adjustment, while other offers exclude it. Always check the clauses.
Local focus: printer rental Rome
In Rome, you can find plans with included copies and included printer maintenance, for both A4 and A3; If you want an "all-inclusive" consultation with implementation and support, FG SISTEMI offers multifunction printer rental with technical maintenance and continuous support included.
How to choose: 7 steps to really save
- Measure volumes (B/W vs color, peaks): avoid oversized/undersized machines.
- Prefer rental fee + copy cost if you print consistently: fewer surprises on consumables and spare parts.
- Check included copies and the minimum billable amount: if you print less than the minimum, you still pay. (This is often stated in the contracts).
- Check the adjustment: present or excluded?
- A3 only if needed: it costs more in the rental fee and often also in the copy cost.
- Consider refurbished: to lower the rental fee without giving up maintenance.
- Ask: response times, machine replacement, and toner disposal management, often included in "all-inclusive" plans.
FAQ
What is the difference between the printer rental fee and copy cost?
The rental fee covers the availability of the machine and, often, a package of included copies; the copy cost is the price for every page beyond the allowance (or the only cost in "copy cost" contracts). It generally includes consumables and maintenance.
What is the contract duration?
For SMEs, it is typically 36-60 months, because it balances the installment, reliability, and technological renewal.
Are the prices VAT included?
No, almost always, always check the offer and the conditions.
