Richards Bay notes on service & support
Response times can be longer than in Durban, so read the contract for the hours promised and whether the clock stops over weekends. Ask for preventive visits that clean fans and feed rollers, since dust and salt shorten their life. Plant and port offices handling personnel files use shredding services, and old printers from site offices should go to an e-waste recycler with any hard drive wiped first.
Who prints what in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a working port town. The deep water harbour, the bulk coal terminal, an aluminium smelter, mineral sands mining and the timber and chemical plants around Alton keep a large number of engineering, logistics and contractor offices busy with permits, safety files, drawings and shipping documents. Many of those offices need A3 for plans and print a lot of mono. Conditions are hard on machines: humid heat for much of the year, salt air from the bay, and fine dust from bulk handling and the industrial areas that settles in fans and on the scanner glass. Dealers and technicians work from the CBD, Alton and nearby Empangeni, and some larger contracts are run from Durban, roughly two hours down the N2.
Who asks for copy shops around Richards Bay, most often first:
- Factories, mines and warehouses: a plant copying safety manuals and laminating instructions for the floor
- Corporate and head offices: an overflow job of training manuals copied and bound by a deadline
- Small businesses and shops: a shop printing price lists and laminating menus without buying a copier
