OFFICE110, operated by Bell Technos Co., Ltd., analyzed consultation records related to multifunction printers (copiers) accumulated from December 7, 2022, to July 11, 2025, and confirmed that 34 consultations, accounting for about 32.1% of the total, involved hesitation between leasing and purchasing.
When introducing a multifunction printer, both leasing and purchasing are common options, but looking at the actual contents of the consultations, it became clear that the reality cannot be fully judged by simple price comparisons alone. In particular, the three points of cost burden, maintenance, and contract period repeatedly served as the main axes of comparison.
The purpose of this survey is to visualize the decision-making factors that are easily overlooked when personnel in charge at small and medium-sized enterprises compare leasing and purchasing when introducing multifunction printers.
## Survey Overview
When introducing multifunction printers (copiers), choosing between leasing and purchasing is often considered from the initial stage. On the other hand, actual consultation records contained many concerns that could not be resolved solely by the cheapness of the unit price or monthly fees.
Therefore, OFFICE110 investigated what serves as the basis for judgment when comparing leasing or purchasing, based on consultation records accumulated in the field.
## Survey Result 1
As a result of the analysis, 34 consultations regarding "leasing or purchasing" of multifunction printers (copiers) were confirmed, accounting for approximately 32.1% of the total.
This indicates that the comparison between leasing and purchasing is not just a problem for a specific group of prospective buyers, but one of the major themes that continuously arise when introducing multifunction printers.
## Survey Result 2
When categorizing the contents of the consultations, the focus of comparison was not the price level itself, but the operational conditions, including post-introduction. Specifically, the following points were repeatedly confirmed:
1. Whether to prioritize initial costs or the total amount
2. To what extent maintenance and troubleshooting should be included in the consideration
3. How to organize the contract period and conditions after expiration
