Q4 Copier & Printer Copier Upgrade Guide: Lease Smarter for Your Colorado Business
The Skinny
As Q4 approaches, Colorado businesses are evaluating what tech upgrades can still be written off or depreciated before the year ends. If you’re still operating outdated copiers or overpaying for a copy lease, this is the season to make a strategic move. In this blog, we’ll break down:
- Why Q4 is ideal for upgrading office printing equipment
- How to navigate copier leases effectively
- Key features in modern printer copiers
- Specific recommendations for Colorado’s Front Range businesses
- A comparison chart to help guide your decision
Whether you’re in Lakewood, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, or anywhere across the Front Range, this guide will help you lease smart, print better, and enter 2025 with upgraded office efficiency.
Why Q4 Is the Best Time to Upgrade Your Copier
1. Budget Optimization & Tax Strategy
Many businesses have remaining IT or operations budget to spend before the fiscal year closes. Upgrading a printer copier now may qualify for Section 179 tax deductions or depreciation benefits in 2025.
2. Avoid Supply Chain Delays
End-of-year inventory tends to move fast. Upgrading now ensures delivery, installation, and training before year-end downtime or seasonal demand spikes.
3. Q4 Leasing Incentives
Manufacturers and authorized dealers (like ABT) often offer copier lease incentives in Q4, including:
- Reduced rates
- Deferred payments until 2025
- Bundled service agreements
Copier Leasing: What You Need to Know
Common Lease Types
- FMV (Fair Market Value): Lower monthly cost, return or buy at end.
- $1 Buyout: Higher monthly, but you own the copier at lease-end.
Lease Length
Most copier leases are 36, 48, or 60 months. Match your lease to your technology refresh cycle (3–5 years is common).
Inclusions to Ask For
- Toner and maintenance coverage
- On-site support and training
- Device upgrades at mid-term
- Print usage tracking tools
