Equipment Rental - How it Works


Mitsubishi_CP9800DW_140.jpgThe process of hiring a Dye Sublimation Photo printer for your event is simple. We aim to prvide a flexible approach that suits you.

  1. You decide how long you need the printer for (minimum period is one week).
  2. Decide how much media you're likely to need. We recommend slightly over-estimating this (with most rentals you only pay for what you use).
  3. Give us as much notice as possible - there is a late-rental fee for orders placed within 48 hours of despatch.
  4. We then charge you for the rental period plus delivery and collection and a refundable deposit (which depends on the value of the printer you're renting). Payment is usually made with a credit or debit card, although you may pay by cheque or bank transfer; (allow time for clearance).
  5. We then send the printer to you with the media you have requested. The printer is normally despatched to arrive a couple of days before your event to allow you to check it and contact us if you have any problems (our working week is Monday to Friday 09:00 to 17:30) 
  6. Collection of the printer is arranged when booking. Upon return to us, the printer is checked and print counts are taken. The returned media is also checked and we then calculate how many prints you have made.
  7. The cost of the prints used is then debited to your deposit and the balance is refunded to you.

    Example: 1 Week rental of a CP9550DW with 200 8x6 prints made.

    Initial charge:
    £500.00 deposit + £198.00 weekly rental + £45.00 for delivery/collection = £743.00.

    Final Bill
    Refund of £500 deposit - charge of £118.00 for the 200 prints made = £382.00

    So customer would receive a refund of £382.00, making the total amount paid for the rental £361.00 (£198.00 + £45.00 + £118.00). The customer made sales of £2,000 (200 prints @ £10.00 per print) giving a profit of £1,618

 

Note: We may require identification details from you before hiring equipment and we reserve the right to refuse rental at our discretion.
