Copier & Printer Leasing for St. Petersburg Businesses
St. Petersburg’s downtown has changed substantially, and the Innovation District around the marine science campuses has given the city a research and technology base alongside its established professional community.
Research operations document everything, and they keep it. That makes reliable duplex scanning and a properly configured path into document management more valuable than headline print speed, which is how we tend to size equipment in St. Petersburg.
RDS leases, rents, sells and services multifunction copiers and printers throughout St. Petersburg and the wider Pinellas County.

- Miami-Dade County certified SBE, and a State of Florida certified minority-owned business. RDS is Latino-owned, and its partners each bring more than 40 years in the industry.

Service & Support in St. Petersburg
St. Petersburg is covered from our Orlando location. Our technicians carry parts and consumables for the models we place, so most service calls in St. Petersburg are resolved on the first visit instead of becoming a return trip for a part.
Every agreement includes installation, network and scan-to-email configuration, user training and ongoing service. If you already run equipment in St. Petersburg that you did not buy from us, we will take over its service.
Lease, Rent or Buy in St. Petersburg
Most St. Petersburg businesses lease. A lease bundles equipment, service and toner into one predictable monthly cost, keeps the technology current, and lets you re-size the machine as the business changes rather than owning hardware that no longer fits. Short-term rentals cover projects, seasonal demand and temporary offices, and outright purchase is available if you would rather own the asset.
Common Questions from St. Petersburg Businesses

Who You Are Dealing With in St. Petersburg
RDS Team was started in Miami in 2008 by two people who had already spent their working lives in this industry. Gustavo Hermida and Mike Martin both began in 1982 — more than forty years each, over eighty between them — and first met in the mid-1990s at a large nationwide company, Gustavo a sales manager, Mike an operations manager.
Gustavo came up through business development and management: New York, Sales Manager at Ricoh Corporation, later VP of Sales at Nur Macro, now part of HP. Mike came up the other way — he started as a shop technician, worked his way up to operations manager, then founded his own company exporting the same equipment. In 2008 Gustavo walked into that office with the idea of opening a local operation, and they did.
The principle it was built on was simple: when the banks say no, we say yes. We look past the credit score at the business in front of us, which is why companies turned away elsewhere are running our equipment in St. Petersburg today. RDS was named to the Inc. 5000 in 2018. The growth came from value and, above all, service. Read the RDS story or meet the team.
