    Hello everyone. I need some advise. I am a realtor in Naples, FL. I am highly considering leasing a Versant 180. The reason I am buying it is to get my cost of mailer down by bringing the print in house. Right now I only mail about 3,000 pieces a month, but for the same price I could be mailing 5,000. This is a big investment and I have zero knowledge of these printers. Are these difficult to use? Am I crazy for considering this? I hope by mailing more and if this work I figured I will be easily able to scale my business.

    Also is this a good deal or fair deal?I have found a used 180 Versant machine which I can lease $1,380 for 5 years. They want .04 for the service contract for color.

    It's great to hear that you're considering leasing a Versant 180 for your real estate business. Bringing the print in-house can help you reduce costs and scale your business.
    As for the difficulty of using these printers, they may have a learning curve initially, but with proper training and support, you should be able to handle it. It's always a good idea to inquire about training and ongoing technical support when leasing a printer.
    If you have any specific questions or concerns about the Versant 180 or the lease deal, it might be helpful to consult with a Mortgage Broker in Altrincham. They can provide expert guidance and help you make an informed decision.

    I like flexibility and control.

    I'll point out a few things to think about:

    1.) What is the size of your mailer? Will you need additional finishing equipment?

    2.) Are you currently printing pieces on fancy cover weight and/or coated stock?

    With a low purchase volume you may find stock prices for nice coated/cover stocks add noticeably to your cost.

    3.) Are you mailing local only? Or more complex that will take more time to do the sorting/mailing.
