Spread the cost of a wide format printer from £5,000 to £150,000+ with flexible finance options: HP, lease or refinance.
Yes, wide format printers are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £5,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 36–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

A wide format printer qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, letting you deduct the cost against taxable profit in the year of purchase on an outright buy or HP agreement, and lease payments are deductible in full as they are paid. Ink or media supply contracts and any RIP software licence used to drive the printer are running costs separate from the capital equipment and are not part of the finance agreement.
The typical buyer is a sign, display, packaging proofing or print bureau business investing in a printer for banners, posters, vehicle graphics, packaging samples or point-of-sale material, either adding a new capability or replacing a machine whose print heads or technology have fallen behind current output speed and colour standards. UV flatbed printers, which print directly onto rigid substrates like foamex or acrylic rather than only onto roll media, sit at a significantly higher price point than roll-fed inkjet printers and are typically bought by businesses expanding into rigid signage rather than as a first wide format purchase. Ink cost is a substantial ongoing expense in this category and is usually the subject of a separate supply contract rather than something folded into the equipment finance.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
