Whether you're running a business, working from home, or managing school projects, we've got all your printing needs covered.
At West Coast Office National, we supply quality printers, ink cartridges, toners, and ribbons — all at affordable prices and backed by expert advice.
We also help you avoid common pitfalls, like getting locked into long-term printer lease contracts.
Should You Lease a Printer?
It might sound convenient — but for most businesses and home users, leasing is rarely the best choice.
Here’s why buying your own printer is often smarter:
No Long Contracts
Avoid 3 to 5 years of fixed monthly payments.
Control Your Costs
With leasing, charges for copies, ink, paper, and call-outs often increase — and you have little say.
Stay Up to Date
Printer technology evolves fast. Don’t get stuck paying for a machine that’s already outdated.
Own Your Equipment
When you buy, the printer is yours. You can upgrade or resell it any time.
When Leasing Might Work
Leasing could make sense if:
You need a high-volume or specialised machine temporarily.
You don’t have the upfront capital to buy.But in most cases, ownership offers more flexibility and better long-term value.

Types of Printer Ink Explained
When shopping for a printer or choosing ink cartridges, it helps to know what kind of ink your printer uses. Different inks are designed for different purposes — from office documents to cake printing!
Used in most inkjet printers, this liquid ink comes in two main types:
- Dye-Based Ink – Affordable and bright, but more likely to fade over time. Great for everyday use or budget colour printing.
- Pigment-Based Ink – Longer-lasting and resistant to water and sunlight. Ideal for high-quality prints, labels, and professional graphics.
- Best for: Home users, photographers, and anyone printing colourful documents or vinyl stickers.
Toner is a dry powder used in laser printers. It’s made up of fine pigment particles that are melted onto the paper using heat.
- Produces crisp, sharp text and long-lasting prints
- Fast and efficient — perfect for large print volumes
- Available in both black and colour toners
Best for: Offices, schools, and businesses with high-volume printing needs.
Solid ink resembles coloured wax or crayon. It’s melted inside the printer and then applied to paper.
- Delivers vibrant colours and a smooth finish
- Often used for packaging and signage
- Also referred to in thermal printing or dye sublimation methods
Best for: Large-format printing and colour-heavy marketing materials.
Ribbon ink is used in dot matrix and some POS (Point of Sale) printers.
- A fabric ribbon is soaked in ink and strikes the paper via print heads
- Ideal for printing multi-part forms, receipts, and carbon copies
- Usually black or dual-tone (e.g., black/red)
Best for: Retail tills, finance departments, and older industrial printing systems.
Edible Ink
Yes, edible ink exists! These are special cartridges filled with food-safe ink made from water, glycerine, ethanol, and approved colourants.
- Used in cake printers for edible images
- Popular for birthdays, weddings, and special events
- Safe to eat and works with edible paper like rice or icing sheets
Best for: Bakeries, party planners, or anyone wanting a personalised cake topper.
