For years, office printing has been tied to rigid five-year leases and complicated contracts. Costs keep climbing, while businesses remain locked into printers they wish they could replace.
Today, South African businesses want something better – flexibility, transparency, and control. As a result, many are switching to flexible printer rentals that align with the way modern businesses need to work.
Why Traditional Printing Models Don’t Work Anymore
The classic lease made sense when technology changed slowly, and business models stayed steady. But that world is gone. Devices now age quickly, and businesses need to adapt even faster.
Under traditional contracts, upgrades become painful, cancellation fees pile up, and consumables often carry hidden markups. In the end, companies lose both money and agility.
A Smarter Way to Print
Go Rentals’ new flexible print rental model – sometimes called Print-as-a-Service – replaces outdated leases with more affordable short-term, all-inclusive plans.
Whether you need a single desktop printer for a short-term office or a national fleet of multifunction devices, the model offers:
- Predictable monthly pricing: all maintenance, parts, and consumables included.
- No long-term lock-ins: scale up, down, or return units anytime.
- Same-day deployment: in major metros.
- Choice of brands and models: A4, A3, mono, and colour units.
“For too long, the print industry has been built around the vendor’s needs, not the customer’s,” says Emile Pitout, Head of Print Solutions at Go Rentals. “Our model gives control back to the customer. You pay only for what you need, when you need it.”
Built for Agility and growth
For SMEs, the benefits are immediate: no capital outlay and clear monthly costs with no surprises. They can match their print capacity to project demands and scale down costs when demand drops.
For corporates, the model simplifies fleet management and provides enterprise-grade support – without the burden of rigid contracts.
In addition, events and temporary sites benefit from short term printer setups that move as fast as the project itself.
Printing That Fits Modern Business
This isn’t just a new pricing model – it’s a rethinking of office automation around customers fast changing needs.
By replacing ownership and long-term leases with on-demand rentals, Go Rentals is helping businesses of every size print more affordably and sustainably.
Printing that works – without the five-year contract.
Try it for yourself
“If you need a new printer, try it out – you’ve got nothing to lose,” says Emile. “You can cancel anytime.”
