Why iLease Capital

Print equipment is production critical.
We move when it matters.

Print-shop expertise

We understand print economics: press uptime, job scheduling, turnaround demands, and seasonal volume swings. Equipment quality directly impacts your delivery performance.

Equipment holds strong residuals

Quality presses from Heidelberg, Komori, and Manroland hold residual value. We use those residuals to negotiate better terms from lenders familiar with printing equipment.

Used equipment financing

Most print shops run mixed new and pre-owned presses. We work with lenders who finance quality used presses with production history and service documentation.

Production-line bundling

Upgrading your entire workflow (press + finishing + binding + workflow software)? Bundle it for better pricing and simpler management.

Emergency replacement speed

A press goes down mid-job and your deadline is at risk. Same-day decisions get you back to production.

Growth financing

Adding a second press to handle volume growth? We structure multi-press leases timed to your revenue ramp.

Common Questions

Printing Equipment Financing,
Answered.

Can I finance used printing presses?

Yes. Used offset and digital presses from Heidelberg, Komori, and Manroland in good working order are financeable with documentation of condition, maintenance history, and production capability. Pre-owned presses often finance faster because residuals are well understood.

How can I finance a complete production workflow?

A complete production line (press + finishing + binding + CTP system + workflow software) bundles into a single package. This bundles faster and typically yields better rates than financing individual components.

Can I finance multiple presses for a larger facility?

Yes. Outfitting a production facility with 2 or more presses bundles into a master lease with separate equipment schedules. One payment, better pricing than individual press deals.

How does Section 179 work for printing equipment?

Under a $1 buyout lease or Equipment Finance Agreement, you get Section 179 deductibility in the year placed in service. On a $250K offset press package, that's potentially $70K+ in immediate deductions. Consult your CPA for your specific deduction.

What credit and business financials do I need?

Most lenders prefer 2+ years operating history with documented revenue. Print shops with reasonable credit (typically 700+) usually qualify. Equipment residuals and your production capacity matter significantly.

Can I upgrade equipment mid-lease?

Some lease structures include upgrade options, allowing you to swap older presses or finishing equipment for newer, higher-capacity systems. Discuss your growth and technology roadmap upfront.
