We also carry the full line of HP products, and Ricoh production models.
Do you deliver and install the copier?
Yes, we offer free delivery on all copier orders. Our team handles delivery, setup, and installation so your equipment is ready to use from day one. We also provide initial training so your staff knows how to operate the system efficiently.
Do you sell interactive display monitors for conference rooms?

How do I get a quote for a copier or printer?
Getting a quote is easy and free. Visit our Free Quote page or call us directly. We’ll ask a few questions about your monthly print volume, color needs, and any special features you require, then recommend the best equipment options and pricing for your situation.
Do you offer copier leasing in Houston?
Yes. We offer flexible copier leasing options for businesses throughout Houston and the surrounding areas, including Baytown, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pasadena. Leasing is available for new and refurbished copiers, with terms typically ranging from 24 to 60 months. We can structure a lease to fit your budget and volume needs.
What is the difference between leasing and buying a copier?
Leasing a copier means paying a fixed monthly amount to use the equipment over a set term, with no large upfront cost. At the end of the lease, you can upgrade to newer equipment, purchase the copier, or return it. Buying means you own the equipment outright, which can make sense if you plan to use it long-term and want to avoid monthly payments. Leasing is typically preferred by businesses that want to stay current with technology or preserve working capital.
How much does it cost to lease a copier?
Copier lease costs vary depending on the model, features, and lease term. Basic black-and-white desktop copiers can start as low as $50–$100 per month, while high-volume color systems or production printers may range from $200 to $600+ per month. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific volume and feature requirements.
Can I lease a refurbished copier?
Yes. We offer leasing on both new and certified refurbished copiers. Our refurbished Sharp equipment is thoroughly inspected and serviced before placement, making it an excellent option for businesses looking to reduce monthly costs without sacrificing reliability.
How fast is your copier service response time?
We pride ourselves on a 4-hour or less service response time for customers in the Houston area. A broken copier can bring your office to a standstill, so we make rapid response a top priority. Our certified technicians are dispatched quickly to diagnose and resolve issues on-site.
What does your copier maintenance and service plan cover?
Our service and maintenance plans typically cover all parts and labor for covered repairs, preventive maintenance visits, toner and consumables (on all-inclusive plans), and priority service response. Coverage details vary by plan — contact us to find the right service agreement for your equipment and usage level.
Do you service copiers that were not purchased from you?
In many cases, yes. We service Sharp copier systems regardless of where they were originally purchased. Contact us with your equipment model and we can let you know if we can take it on and what service options are available.
What if my copier breaks down — do you offer loaner equipment?
We understand that copier downtime can seriously disrupt your operations. In situations where a repair cannot be completed quickly, we do our best to provide temporary solutions to keep your business running. Ask about loaner availability when you contact us for service.
Do you offer service outside of Houston?
Yes. While our headquarters are in Houston, Texas, we sell copiers nationwide and have established service partnerships in all major U.S. markets, ensuring your equipment can be supported wherever your business operates.
