Printer and Copier Sales & Rentals · Los Angeles, CA
A growing Los Angeles office rarely needs the same printing capacity every month. The approach we set up most often is simple: own the machines that run all year, rent the ones you need for a quarter, and never pay a lease on capacity that sits idle. This page covers how we combine printer and copier sales with short-term rentals across Los Angeles County.
Most offices have a steady volume, the pages printed every week regardless of season, and a variable one that comes with year-end close, enrollment, a trial or a product launch. Buying a machine sized for the peak means paying for capacity that idles ten months a year; buying one sized for the base and struggling through the peak costs staff time and overtime at the print shop.
Sizing the purchased machine to the base load and adding a rental for the peak usually costs less over three years than either alternative. We measure both numbers from your current page counters before quoting. For a lease on the base machine instead of a purchase, the Los Angeles copier leasing page covers terms and the lease vs. buy calculator compares the two.
Every machine we sell, new or certified pre-owned, comes with delivery, installation, network and cloud setup, staff training and a 30-day parts and labor warranty. Returns within 30 days carry a 10 percent restocking fee. Certified pre-owned units from Ricoh, Xerox, Canon and Kyocera cost 20 to 30 percent less than new and suit offices that want tabloid color on a tighter budget. Trade-ins are credited against the purchase, and the old machine leaves with its hard drive erased and documented.
If the machine you are replacing has been repaired more than once this year, the repair-or-replace guide on our Los Angeles sales page lays out the math.
Rentals run from 30 days, with weekly rates for events, and the monthly rate covers delivery, setup, toner, drums, on-site service and pickup. You supply paper. If a rental turns into a permanent need, payments made in the first 90 days are credited toward buying that machine. Rental situations we equip most often in Los Angeles, from productions in Burbank to trial rooms Downtown, are described on the Los Angeles sales and rentals page.
| Office | Purchased base machine | Rental for the peak | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounting firm, Pasadena, 12 staff | A4 mono multifunction, 45 to 57 ppm | A3 color unit, February to April | Tax season triples volume and adds tabloid schedules |
| School district office, San Gabriel Valley | A3 color multifunction, 30 to 40 ppm | Second A3 unit, August enrollment | Enrollment packets double output for six weeks |
| Marketing agency, Culver City, 40 staff | A3 color multifunction, 45 ppm | Light production press for launch weeks | Client launches need press-quality output a few weeks a year |
The examples are illustrative sizes rather than client accounts; we build the actual combination from your page counts and calendar.
Purchased and rented units ship from the same Burbank warehouse, so a rental for the peak arrives on the date you set and leaves when it ends, without a second vendor. Both are covered by the 4-hour on-site service commitment across Los Angeles County; the Irvine hub serves Long Beach, Torrance and the South Bay. One phone number covers both machines.
We have written pages for the cities we serve most often from the Burbank and Irvine hubs: Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Culver City, El Segundo, Torrance. Each covers local delivery, the districts we reach and the equipment those offices ask for. The service areas page lists every region.

Get a sales and rental quoteYes. That is the arrangement this page describes. The purchased machine is sized to your everyday volume, and a rental is booked for the peak weeks or months, from 30 days up, then collected. Both ship from Burbank and share one service number.
Usually not when the peak lasts under three months a year. A larger purchase costs more up front and more per page in consumables all year; a rental adds cost only for the weeks it is on site. We compare both on the quote using your page counts.
