Why Lease a Large Format Printer?
Purchasing a professional large format printer outright can require a significant capital investment — often ranging from several thousand to tens of thousands of pounds. For many businesses, photographers, studios and agencies, this level of upfront spend is simply not practical.
Leasing offers an intelligent alternative. Rather than depleting your cash reserves, you spread the cost into manageable fixed monthly payments, allowing your business to start generating revenue from day one.
At RGBuk, we partner with Kennet Leasing to offer straightforward, fast-approval leasing on all our large format printers. Whether you need a compact desktop model or a 60-inch production wide format printer, leasing puts the latest equipment within reach.
Who Is Leasing Right For?
- Photography studios wanting in-house fine art print production
- Sign makers and display print businesses scaling up capacity
- Architects and CAD/GIS teams needing reliable large format output
- Marketing agencies and design studios printing proofs and large format campaigns
- Education and public sector organisations managing tight budgets
- Start-ups and growing SMEs that want to preserve working capital

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum value for leasing?
Leasing is available on equipment valued at £1,000 or more. Most of our large format printers comfortably qualify.
Can I lease a printer as a sole trader or new business?
Leasing is available to limited companies, partnerships and sole traders. New businesses may be subject to additional checks. Contact us and we will advise on your eligibility.
What happens if my printer needs a repair during the lease?
Maintenance and servicing is your responsibility during the lease unless you add a service and support plan. RGBuk offers on-site support packs and remote support options. We recommend discussing this at the time of lease to ensure you always have cover.
Can I end the lease early?
Most lease agreements include an early termination clause, but this typically involves a penalty or settlement fee. We recommend choosing a term length that matches your expected usage period to avoid early settlement costs.
Who owns the printer during the lease?
During a finance lease, the leasing company is the legal owner of the equipment, but you have full use of it for the duration of the term. At end of term, options to purchase ownership are usually available.
Is VAT included in the monthly payments?
Monthly lease payments are typically quoted excluding VAT. VAT is added at the prevailing rate and is usually reclaimable by VAT-registered businesses. Confirm with your accountant.
