Copier Rentals


  • Best for: Short-term projects, seasonal offices, or startups.
  • Commitment: Short, often month-to-month.
  • Cost: Higher per month but more flexible.


Example: A construction company rents a Sharp USA copier for a job site for 3 months.


Copier Leases


  • Best for: Established businesses with steady needs.
  • Commitment: Long-term, usually 36–60 months.
  • Cost: Lower monthly payment spread over time.


Example: A growing law firm leases a Sharp USA copier to lock in predictable payments and upgrade options.


Which Should You Choose?


Choose rental if you need flexibility and short-term convenience.

Choose leasing if you want predictable costs, long-term access, and the ability to upgrade your Sharp copier regularly.

Whether you lease or rent, Sharp USA copiers provide dependable performance, energy efficiency, and modern features your office can rely on.
