Copier & Printer Leasing for Gainesville Businesses

Gainesville runs on a university and a teaching hospital, and both produce print in sharp cycles rather than a steady flow. Term dates, clinical rotations and research deadlines create peaks that flatten equipment sized for an average week.

RDS leases multifunction copiers and printers throughout Gainesville and Alachua County, from practices near the medical campuses to the professional and research offices around downtown and Butler Plaza. Leasing lets a business hold peak capacity without owning it year-round.

Choosing the Right Copier for a Gainesville Office

The right machine for a Gainesville office depends far more on what the business actually does than on its headcount. For healthcare and research, the usual fit is departmental multifunction units with locked output, because the workload is controlled documentation and chain-of-custody scanning. For higher education, the priority shifts: managed fleets with per-department accounting, where what matters is cost visibility across departments rather than a single shared bill.

For professional services, we look at mid-volume colour multifunction units — scan-to-folder filing and secure release.

Sizing and Placement in Gainesville

Volume matters as much as features. We size equipment on your real monthly page count with headroom for busy months, rather than selling to a peak figure you rarely hit. Across downtown Gainesville, the university and medical campus areas, Butler Plaza, plus Alachua and Newberry, that ranges from a single desktop unit to a small fleet on one agreement, all covered by the same Alachua County service response.

Who You Are Dealing With in Gainesville

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 Gainesville 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.
