Who prints what in East London
East London combines a port city with the government offices of the provincial capital next door. The car plant on the West Bank, the industrial development zone, the harbour and a busy medical and legal sector fill offices in the CBD, Vincent and the Berea, while Bhisho and Qonce, under an hour inland, hold provincial departments that print submissions, tenders and reports. University campuses and many schools in Mdantsane add exam and study material. The sea air is damp and salty for much of the year, and inland summers bring thunderstorms. Copier dealers and technicians are mostly in Vincent, the CBD and the Wilsonia industrial area, with regular trips out to Bhisho, Qonce and Mdantsane.
Typical copy shops requests in the area come from:
- Government and municipalities: tender document sets copied, bound and checked before a closing time
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: a practice scanning a box of old patient files to PDF
- Law firms, accountants and agents: an architect's A3 drawings copied in colour for a client meeting
