Copier Rental vs. Buying
Finally, we have arrived at the section where there are no hard and fast rules. However, one thing is for sure that on an average a decent photocopier is very expensive. Apart from the fact that Dubai offers a wide range of rental options and prefer to stay updated in terms of technology, which is why people in Dubai opt for renting over purchasing; there are a few things we have worked out for you.
• Renting offers the option of shirking away from the responsibility of disposing of the product once it depreciates.
• Tax incentives are for one, you can claim if you rent a copier.
• Staying updated with the technology is something you cannot ignore, as the value of any electronic product beyond 5 years is questionable.
With all these benefits, the real question is whether you can still make a right decision while weighing the options as to leasing or buying a photocopier. The bottom line is what kind of usage are you looking at as the buy or lease of the photocopier essentially depends on the estimated use.
Let us say, it costs around 7 fils for a color page in Dubai, and your monthly average for printing is 200 copies per month, costing around AED 1680 in a yearly contract, which you can get it for around AED 550 at Laptop Rental UAE. Now, let’s compare this with the average cost of a decent digital photocopier, which could be around AED 5000
and might be able to produce around 20 ppm. The math is right before you and it is your call at the end of the day.
