Supplies & parts in Cape Town: local notes
In a wet Cape winter keep reams sealed and stored away from outside walls, because damp paper curls and jams in the duplex unit. Most corporates get toner automatically through their contract, but home offices in the southern suburbs buy cartridges and refills, and some switch to an ink tank printer. Schools print and bind exam packs in bulk in term four, and tender offices laminate and bind submissions.
Cape Town: the offices, the volumes and the dealers
Few cities print for a wider mix. Parliament, provincial and city departments and the High Court bring government and legal work to the CBD, the Foreshore holds insurers, banks and law firms, Century City and Claremont have head offices, call centres and medical practices, and Woodstock and Salt River are full of design studios and start ups. The port and the freight agents around it print customs and shipping papers. Winters are wet and damp, the south easter blows through summer, and buildings close to the sea in Sea Point and the Waterfront see salt air. Copier dealers, technicians and toner suppliers are concentrated in Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Maitland and Ndabeni, within easy reach of most of the city.
The requests we see from Cape Town usually come from:
- Corporate and head offices: drums and imaging units replaced across a fleet as page counts come due
- Small businesses and shops: a new drum for the office printer when lines appear on quotes and invoices
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: a drum for the reception printer so scans and letters print clean
