Financing printing equipment: the basics
RCR International Finance LLC arranges printing equipment financing for businesses acquiring print and packaging. Because the asset secures the deal, printing equipment is one of the more accessible commercial structures, and it keeps working capital free for payroll, materials, and growth. Subject to underwriting and approval.
New printing equipment financing supports full warranties and current production technology, fitting shops with steady volume. Used and reconditioned presses are commonly financed at lower cost and are evaluated on condition, impressions, and remaining life. Both new and used purchases are subject to underwriting and approval.
A loan builds ownership of durable presses a shop plans to run for years. A lease can ease upgrades to advancing digital technology and spread the cost of high-value equipment. The right structure depends on production volume, technology cycles, and tax planning.
Loan vs lease: which fits this asset?
Both options finance printing equipment, the right choice depends on how long you keep the asset and whether ownership or lower payments matters more.
Equipment Loan
Build ownership
- You own the equipment outright at the end of the term
- Builds equity in the asset as you pay it down
- Best for equipment with a long, productive useful life
- Payments are typically higher than a comparable lease
Equipment Lease
Lower payments, flexibility
- Lower monthly payments to preserve cash flow
- Flexibility to upgrade, renew, or return at term end
- Best for assets you replace or upgrade often
- End-of-term purchase options may be available
Soft costs you can often include
Financing frequently covers more than the sticker price, so the asset is working from day one.
Rigging, freight, and placement
Roll rigging, freight, and placement into the financed amount where the structure allows.
Installation and calibration
Roll installation and calibration into the financed amount where the structure allows.
Color management and software setup
Roll color management and software setup into the financed amount where the structure allows.
Applicable sales and use taxes
