Copier & Printer Leasing for Lakeland Businesses

Lakeland sits at the centre of Polk County between Tampa and Orlando, with a corporate base, a significant logistics and distribution sector around Lakeland Linder, and the professional community around Florida Southern College and downtown.

Distribution operations print constantly and unglamorously: manifests, bills of lading, labels, pick lists. That is a duty-cycle question. We size those placements on monthly volume and expected life, not on the brochure speed, because a machine run past its duty cycle fails early.

RDS leases, rents, sells and services multifunction copiers and printers throughout Lakeland and the rest of Polk County. We serve downtown Lakeland, Dixieland, the Lakeland Linder industrial area, South Florida Avenue and the Polk Parkway corridor.

Service & Support in Lakeland

Lakeland is covered from our Orlando location. Our technicians carry parts and consumables for the models we place, so most service calls in Lakeland are resolved on the first visit rather than 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 have equipment in Lakeland that you did not buy from us, we will take over its service.

Lease, Rent or Buy in Lakeland

Most Lakeland businesses lease. A lease bundles the equipment, service and toner into one predictable monthly cost, keeps the technology current, and lets you re-size the machine as the business changes instead of owning hardware that no longer fits. Short-term rentals are available for projects, seasonal demand and temporary offices, and outright purchase is available if you would rather own the asset.

Common Questions from Lakeland Businesses

How quickly can you get a technician to Lakeland?

We guarantee a 4-hour response from your call to a technician on site. Lakeland is on an established route for us, not an outlying job. That is a commitment we put in the agreement, not a marketing line — and if you need tighter terms for Lakeland, tell us what downtime actually costs you and we will put it in writing.

Do you service copiers you did not supply?

Yes. We regularly take over maintenance of existing equipment in Lakeland, including machines placed by other dealers. We will inspect it first and tell you honestly whether it is worth putting under contract or whether replacing it will cost you less over the term.

Can I rent a copier in Lakeland short term?

Yes. Short-term rentals suit temporary offices, seasonal workloads, construction and project sites, audits and events. If you need a machine in Lakeland for a few weeks or a few months, renting is usually cheaper than any other route.

Who You Are Dealing With in Lakeland

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 Lakeland 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.
