Copier and MFD Printer Sales, Lease and Rentals in North Saint Paul MN
A multifunction device (MFD) replaces a separate copier, printer, scanner and fax machine with one networked unit. For most North Saint Paul offices that means lower supply costs, one service contract instead of four, and staff who print, scan and copy from a single panel. We carry desktop units for two-person offices up through 90 page-per-minute production printers for print rooms and schools.
What we supply
- Sales: New and reconditioned copiers, color and black-and-white, with a written warranty.
- Leasing: 36, 48 and 60 month terms, fair-market-value or one-dollar buyout, little or no money down.
- Rentals: Daily, weekly and monthly rentals for projects, elections, trials, conferences and temporary offices.
- Maintenance plans: Cost-per-page agreements covering toner, drums, fusers, parts and on-site labor.
- Repair service: Manufacturer-trained technicians, next-business-day response in the North Saint Paul metro.
How to choose the right copier for your North Saint Paul office
Four numbers decide which machine you should be quoted. Have them ready and the quote will be accurate the first time.
- Monthly page volume. Count pages from your current meter reading or toner purchases. Under 3,000 pages a month suits a desktop unit; 3,000 to 15,000 suits a mid-range floor model; above 15,000 calls for a departmental or production copier. Machines run past their rated duty cycle fail early and eat service calls.
- Color share. If fewer than one page in ten is color, a black-and-white copier plus a small color printer is cheaper than a color MFD. Color pages cost roughly six to eight cents each on a maintenance plan versus about one cent for black.
- Speed in pages per minute. 25 to 35 ppm is adequate for most small offices. Choose 45 ppm or higher when several people share one machine or when you regularly run jobs of 200 pages or more.
- Paper handling. Decide whether you need 11 x 17, envelopes, card stock, stapling, hole punching or booklet folding. Finishers add cost and are cheaper to specify at purchase than to retrofit.
Then ask about scan-to-email, scan-to-folder, mobile printing, user authentication and hard-drive encryption. Medical, legal and accounting offices in Minnesota should confirm the copier's hard drive is wiped or removed at the end of a lease; we document this in writing.
Brands we carry
- Xerox - AltaLink and VersaLink multifunction printers; strong color output and app-based workflows.
- Ricoh - Reliable mid-volume workhorses with low cost per page.
- Canon - imageRUNNER ADVANCE series; excellent scanning and document security.

Buying vs. leasing a copier | Copy Machine Rental North Saint Paul MN
These are the questions North Saint Paul business owners ask before they sign. The answers match the pricing we quote today; call if your situation differs.
Should I buy or lease a copier?
Buying costs less over the life of the machine and leaves you with an asset you can resell. Leasing spreads the cost into a fixed monthly payment, needs little or no money down, keeps the equipment current at the end of the term, and the payments are usually deductible as an operating expense. Businesses that print 5,000 pages a month or more, or that want to replace the machine every three to five years, usually lease. Low-volume offices that plan to keep one machine for many years usually buy.
How much does a copier lease cost per month?
A low-volume black-and-white desktop copier leases for about $65 to $150 a month. A mid-volume color multifunction copier runs $150 to $400 a month. High-volume and production units run $400 to $900 or more. Price depends on the equipment cost, the term length (36, 48 or 60 months), whether a maintenance plan is bundled, and your monthly page volume. See the true cost of leasing a copier for a worked example.
How much does a new office copier cost to buy?
A new mid-range office copier printing 30 to 55 pages per minute costs about $6,000 to $13,000. Heavy-volume and production copiers cost $20,000 to $35,000 or more. Refurbished office copiers average $4,000 to $5,800 and carry a warranty when purchased from a dealer that reconditions them in-house.
How does a copier lease work?
A lease is a contract between you and a finance company. The dealer delivers and installs the copier; you make fixed monthly payments for the term, usually 36, 48 or 60 months. At the end you either return the machine, buy it for a fair market value, or buy it for one dollar, depending on the lease type you chose at signing. Service, toner and parts are normally covered by a separate maintenance agreement billed per page. Read more on our copier leasing page.
Can I get out of a copier lease early?
Only by paying the remaining balance. Leases are non-cancellable finance contracts. Some dealers offer to roll the remaining payments into a new lease on newer equipment; this raises the monthly cost of the new lease and is rarely a good deal unless the old machine no longer meets your needs. Check your contract for the notice period before the end of the term so the lease does not auto-renew. Our article on upgrading with six months left on a copier lease covers the math.
What is included in a copier maintenance agreement?
A cost-per-page maintenance agreement covers toner, drums, fusers, other consumable parts, labor and on-site service calls. Paper and staples are excluded. You pay a set price per black-and-white page and per color page, either as a flat monthly base with an allowance or purely on metered usage. Response time for service calls is written into the agreement, typically four to eight business hours. Details are on our copier service and maintenance page.

Functions to Look for When Reviewing Office Copy Machines
Copier FeaturesIn the digital age, standalone copy machines are almost considered dinosaurs. They've been changed by the multi-function printer or MFP. Modern-day copy machines are workhorses. They copy, print, scan, and most can be set-up as fax machines too!
While all copy machines carry out the same standard jobs, each one has unique features. Understanding which features are necessary for your service will assist you pick the finest maker.
Black and White or Color
Black and white copiers work terrific if all you do is make standard copies. Think about a color copier if you pay a print store for small color print jobs.
Adaptability and Flexibility
Convenience is what drives company owner to purchase organization copy machines. Look for a maker that deals with several paper sizes. Make sure it also manages a range of media such as photo paper, labels, openness, and various weights of cardstock.
Terms you will see on a copier quote or lease
Pages per minute (ppm) is the rated print speed. Duty cycle is the maximum monthly volume the manufacturer supports; keep your real usage under half of it. Cost per page is the metered service charge for toner, parts and labor. Lessee is you, the business making the payments; the lessor is the finance company. Fair market value (FMV) and $1 buyout describe what you pay to own the machine when the lease agreement ends. Multi-function printer, MFP and copier machine are used interchangeably by Ricoh, Kyocera, Canon and Xerox for the same class of laser equipment. Ask the supplier to list ppm, monthly allowance, overage price and term length on every quote so options compare on the same basis.

What is an MFP (multi-function printer)?
An MFP (multi-function product, printer or peripheral), also sold as an all-in-one (AIO) or multi-function device (MFD), is an office machine that combines several devices in one cabinet. In a home or small business (the SOHO segment) the goal is a smaller footprint; in a large office the goal is centralized document capture, distribution and production. A typical MFP combines some or all of email, fax, photocopier, printer and scanner functions.
What is a copier?
A photocopier duplicates documents and images onto paper quickly and at low cost. Modern digital copiers scan the original once, store it, and print as many copies as needed, which is why nearly every copier sold today is also a network printer and scanner.
