Copier & Printer Leasing for Fort Lauderdale Businesses
Fort Lauderdale combines a dense legal and financial district around Las Olas with the largest marine and yachting industry in the country and the freight moving through Port Everglades.
The marine trade is the unusual one. Yacht brokerage, refit and survey work all generate large-format drawings and specification sets alongside ordinary contracts, so a wide-format device sitting next to a standard MFP is a common configuration here and rare almost everywhere else.
RDS leases, rents, sells and services multifunction copiers and printers throughout Fort Lauderdale and the wider Broward County.

Service & Support in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale is covered from our Miami headquarters. Our technicians carry parts and consumables for the models we place, so most service calls in Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale that you did not buy from us, we will take over its service.
Lease, Rent or Buy in Fort Lauderdale
Most Fort Lauderdale 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.
What Drives the Price of a Copier Lease in Fort Lauderdale
Quotes for Fort Lauderdale offices start at $69 per month and go up from there for reasons that are entirely predictable. Four factors do almost all of the work.
- Finishing and paper handling. Stapling, hole punch, booklet making, extra trays, large-format or long-sheet capability. Each is a real cost and each is easy to specify out if you do not use it.
- Scanning and workflow. Single-pass duplex scanning, OCR, scan-to-folder and secure release. For document-heavy offices this often matters more than print speed does.
- Term length. The same machine spread over 60 months costs less per month than over 36, and more overall. Shorter terms cost more monthly and leave you free sooner.
- Speed. Pages per minute is the headline number on every brochure and the one most often over-bought. A 30 ppm machine and a 60 ppm machine cost very different amounts, and most offices never queue at either.
Tell us what you actually print — rough monthly pages, how much of it is color, and how many people share the machine — and we will specify to that rather than to a price list.
Lease Terms and the Clauses Worth Asking About
The equipment is rarely the problem. The paperwork is. Before signing anything in Fort Lauderdale, with us or anyone else, get clear answers on the following.
- What is the minimum monthly volume? Some agreements bill a minimum whether you print it or not. If your volume is seasonal, this matters.
- What happens if the machine cannot be repaired? Most contracts say the dealer will try. Ask what happens if trying fails. Ours says we replace it.
- How does the term end? Some copier leases roll automatically into a further term unless you give written notice inside a specific window, often 90 to 180 days before the end. Ask what the notice period is and diary it the day you sign.
- What happens at the end — return, buy or renew? A fair-market-value lease and a one-dollar-buyout lease look similar monthly and end very differently. Ask which one you are being quoted.
- Who pays for return shipping and de-installation? At the end of a term this can be a real invoice arriving at a moment nobody budgeted for. Ask before, not after.
Should You Buy Instead of Lease?
Purchasing outright suits a specific profile: modest volume, a long intended life, and a preference for capital expenditure over an operating cost. The trade-off is that depreciation, obsolescence and post-warranty repairs all become yours. In practice most Fort Lauderdale offices lease, because a copier is a tool rather than an asset and because a fixed monthly figure is easier to plan around than a five-figure check followed by unpredictable repair bills. Where buying is genuinely cheaper over the term, we will say so and show the numbers.

Who You Are Dealing With in Fort Lauderdale
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 Fort Lauderdale 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.
