Digital Production Printer Financing and Leasing
Explore Digital Production Printer financing and leasing for commercial print production. Mehmi Financial Group reviews requests in Canada and eligible U.S. markets, subject to the asset, business location and lender criteria.
Define the equipment and working configuration
Ask the seller to identify engine configuration, feeding, finishing, controller or RIP, software, counters and service arrangement.
Decisions to settle before ordering
- Run representative jobs using the media and finishing you sell. Evaluate colour, registration, turnaround and waste instead of assuming headline speed will describe the whole workflow.
- Check controller licences, supported operating systems and the service contract. Itemize click charges, minimum volumes and excluded consumables separately from equipment payments.
Budget for acquisition and use
Price rigging, electrical work, setup, training, consumables, maintenance and software. Separate the equipment amount from installation, consumables and ongoing services so the requested finance amount is clear.
Compare an ownership-focused loan with any proposed lease using total payments, fees and end obligations. Match the term to the planned support and refresh cycle, and confirm return, data-removal, renewal and purchase conditions where applicable.
Use BDC’s production-equipment purchase checklist to review installation, testing and training alongside the machinery price.
Use the equipment payment calculator for illustrations, then request a written proposal with the actual payment schedule and fees.

Financing questions
Can finishing and the print controller be included with the press?
List them on the acquisition quote with model identifiers, condition and prices. Confirm that each component works in the proposed workflow and that software rights transfer. Any financing decision applies to the reviewed package, not later additions.
What evidence matters for a used purchase?
Request print counters, service history, sample output, wear components, controller rights and the vendor’s willingness to support the used configuration. Ask the lender whether an independent inspection or valuation is required; condition and seller evidence should be resolved before a non-refundable commitment.
Can the seller be paid before delivery or installation?
Deposits and staged payments require specific review. Provide the supplier’s payment schedule, delivery terms and acceptance milestones before committing. Funding depends on completed lender conditions; an approval does not automatically release money for an undelivered or unfinished project.
