St. Augustine Copier & Printer Leasing
St. Augustine combines a large tourism and hospitality trade with the county seat, a growing professional sector and the medical practices serving St. Johns County.
Hospitality runs on seasonal peaks and constant guest-facing print, while the county and legal offices need records-grade reliability and retention.

How We Specify Equipment for St. Augustine
St. Augustine is covered on our North Florida route with Jacksonville, so it is scheduled rather than treated as an outlying call.
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 St. Augustine business money every month of the term.
What It Costs in St. Augustine
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 St. Augustine 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 St. Augustine Offices
As a rough guide for St. Augustine 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 St. Augustine office is genuinely in. It is often not the one people expect.

Who You Are Dealing With in St. Augustine
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. Augustine 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.
