Plant City Copier & Printer Leasing
Plant City is an agricultural and logistics center between Tampa and Lakeland, best known for its strawberry industry and the distribution operations along the I-4 corridor.
Agriculture and distribution print constantly and unglamorously – manifests, bills of lading, labels, pick lists – and volume spikes hard around harvest and shipping seasons.
Our Guarantees in Plant City

How We Specify Equipment for Plant City
We size Plant City placements on duty cycle and seasonal peak, and short-term rental covers the harvest surge without paying for that capacity year-round.
Before quoting anything we ask three questions: how many pages a month, how much of that is color, and how many people share the machine. That is enough to size a device properly, and it is the reason we rarely place the biggest unit in the room. Over-specifying costs a Plant City business money every month of the term.
What It Costs in Plant City
A lease bundles the equipment, all service, all parts and toner into one predictable monthly figure. There is no separate repair bill and no surprise when a drum or fuser reaches end of life. Most Plant City businesses find that a correctly sized lease costs less per month than they were spending on cartridges and ad-hoc repairs for equipment they already owned.
Short-term rental is available for projects, seasonal demand, temporary offices and events. Outright purchase is available if you would rather own the asset, and we will still service it.
Sizing Guide for Plant City Offices
As a rough guide for Plant City businesses:
- Under 2,000 pages a month — a desktop or compact MFP is usually right, and anything larger is capacity you pay for and never use.
- 2,000 to 10,000 pages — a workgroup MFP with a second paper tray and a finisher.
- 10,000 to 40,000 pages — a floor-standing departmental unit, normally with departmental accounting so you can see where the volume actually goes.
- Above 40,000 pages — production-class equipment, and worth a conversation about whether two mid-range machines serve you better than one large one.
Bring us a recent meter reading or a month of invoices and we will tell you which band your Plant City office is genuinely in. It is often not the one people expect.

Who You Are Dealing With in Plant City
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 Plant City 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.
