Free delivery, full-service managed print, and a 4-hour repair response across Connecticut. Canon, Ricoh, Kyocera, HP, Xerox, Sharp, Konica Minolta, Toshiba. Authorized dealer. 1,100+ five-star reviews.
From major metros to the industrial and business parks across Connecticut — Connecticut businesses need office equipment that keeps up with production, scales with headcount, and never quits at the wrong moment.
Connecticut's economy is a mix of automotive suppliers, logistics, professional services, healthcare, and a fast-growing tech and fintech scene anchored by Dan Gilbert's downtown redevelopment. Every one of those sectors has the same problem: paperwork that has to move fast, securely, and without a tech showing up three days late to fix a jammed tray.
We run a local Connecticut service hub with Connecticut-based technicians, same-week installations, and a 4-hour average on-site response window. No offshore call centers. No bouncing between vendors for toner, service, and the lease itself.
Most of our Connecticut customers save between 20% and 35% when they switch from a big-box copier lease or printer lease to our Connecticut program. The savings come from three places: we remove the hidden toner markups, we audit your actual print volume instead of guessing, and we refuse to sell you a copy machine or office copier you'll outgrow in 18 months.
Whether you're searching for a commercial copier in Connecticut, a printer lease in Connecticut, a short-term office equipment rental, or a managed print contract with all-inclusive service, this page covers everything you need to know. If you'd rather just talk to someone, call (888) 574-5120 or request a quote.
Real monthly ranges below. Your exact quote depends on print volume, color ratio, and finishing needs. Lease terms run 24, 36, 48, or 60 months. Most Connecticut customers choose 36 or 60.
For 1–10 employees printing under 2,000 pages/month
For 10–50 employees printing 2,000–10,000 pages/month
For 50+ employees or print-heavy operations (10,000+ pages/mo)
Typical Connecticut cost-per-copy: $0.008 mono · $0.055 color. Connecticut 6% sales tax applies to for-profit leases; tax-exempt organizations pay $0 tax with a valid certificate.
A mid-sized logistics and distribution firm in Aurora was paying $4,100/month for three aging copiers under a rolled-over lease. Here's what we changed.
The customer had three 6-year-old Ricoh MFPs on an evergreen lease that had silently auto-renewed. Toner was being billed at 3.1¢ per mono page — roughly 4× the market rate. The service contract was separate, with a 48-hour response SLA and three escalations per month averaging 18 hours of production downtime.
We bought out the remaining 11 months of the existing lease (rolled into the new payment), audited actual page volume (67% lower than contracted), and installed two Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5870i units sized to real volume plus one Konica Minolta bizhub C450i in the shop office. Managed print bundle replaced the separate service contract.
"The first month's invoice was $2,710 instead of $4,100 and the machines haven't been down once in six months. The buyout plus new lease came out less than we were paying before."
Not every copier fits every business. Here's how we configure office equipment leasing for the four sectors that drive Connecticut.
OCR-ready scanning, 11×17 support for exhibits, Bates stamping workflow, secure release print for client confidentiality, and end-of-lease drive wipe certificates. Ricoh, Canon, or Konica Minolta A3 color MFPs are the most common configuration.
Every medical-practice copy machine we lease ships with hard-drive encryption, user-authenticated release printing, audit-log retention, and HIPAA-compliant end-of-lease data sanitization with written certificates.
Schaumburg, Naperville, and Aurora logistics and distribution operations run our highest-volume Connecticut leases. Production-class Canon imageRUNNER, high-duty-cycle Konica Minolta bizhub PRESS, 24/7 SLA coverage for shift operations.
Accounting firms, insurance brokerages, real-estate offices, and financial advisors across Evanston, Oak Park, Schaumburg, and Naperville. Mid-volume A3 color MFPs with cloud-scan to QuickBooks, DocuSign, and SharePoint.
We're not locked into a single manufacturer. We match the copier, printer, or MFP to your office — not to whichever brand pays us the biggest incentive. Every brand below is fully serviced by our Connecticut-based technicians.
Canon's imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX line is what we install most often in Connecticut law firms, healthcare practices, and corporate offices that care about color accuracy and uptime. The uniFLOW integration handles rule-based printing, user quotas, and chargeback reporting out of the box.
Best for: Color accuracy, large workgroups (25+), law firms, marketing departments, annual volumes 60k–500k pages.
Ricoh is our reliability pick for mid-volume professional offices. The IM C series has the lowest mean-time-between-failure numbers we track across our fleet. Cloud connectors for Google Workspace, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Dropbox are native — no third-party add-ons needed.
Best for: Small-to-mid offices that need one copier to run without babysitting for 5 years. Google Workspace shops. Firms that value simple UIs.
Kyocera has the lowest cost-per-page in our lineup, driven by long-life drums and high-yield toner cartridges. It's the budget-smart pick for Connecticut small offices that print a lot of black-and-white and don't need fancy finishing.
Best for: Cost-conscious offices, heavy monochrome volume, 10–30 employees, long lease horizons (60 months).
If your Connecticut office is already standardized on HP for desktop printers and IT, extending that standard to your multifunction is the lowest-friction path. JetAdvantage integrates cleanly with existing HP print server infrastructure.
Best for: HP-standardized IT environments, offices running HP desktop laser fleets, lighter color volume.
Xerox is our enterprise-security pick. The AltaLink family has the most advanced user authentication, encrypted hard drive, and chain-of-custody features of any brand we carry. ConnectKey apps let you add third-party workflow tools directly on the device screen.
Best for: Financial services, government, enterprise IT with strict security requirements, large-format color needs.
Sharp offers the strongest value proposition for Connecticut small offices. The MX series keeps pace with Canon and Ricoh on features at a lower monthly payment. Tall-touchscreen UI is intuitive for non-technical users.
Best for: Small offices (under 15 employees), businesses switching from legacy devices, offices that prioritize an easy user interface.
Konica Minolta's bizhub family is what we reach for when a workflow is complex — legal-size scanning, booklet finishing, saddle stitching, two-up impositioning. Their bEST workflow platform integrates directly with document management systems used by Connecticut law and medical practices.
Best for: Legal, healthcare, or operations with complex document workflows and finishing requirements.
Toshiba's e-STUDIO line has the strongest out-of-box scan workflow and the most polished user interface. The e-BRIDGE Plus cloud scan tools are a good match for Connecticut hybrid-work offices that scan to Google Drive or OneDrive heavily.
Best for: Heavy scan-to-cloud environments, hybrid-work teams, offices that value UI polish.
