What to know locally in Durban
Keep reams sealed in their wrappers and off the floor: in a Durban summer an opened ream left in the bypass tray picks up moisture and curls, and that is behind many jams blamed on the machine. Toner suppliers deliver across the metro, and home offices in Westville and on the Berea usually order cartridges for next day delivery. Schools in Umlazi and Chatsworth buy paper by the box before exam papers are printed.
Offices and printing in Durban
Freight paperwork keeps a lot of Durban's copiers busy. Clearing and forwarding agents around the harbour, the Point and Maydon Wharf print customs entries, bills of lading and invoices in volume, while attorneys near the courts in the CBD, head offices on Umhlanga Ridge and the hospitals on the Berea add their own steady load. The air is the other half of the story: humid summers and salt spray curl paper that sits unwrapped, rust feed parts and leave fine corrosion on contacts in machines near the beachfront. Copier dealers, technicians and toner suppliers are spread between the CBD, Umgeni Road, Springfield Park, Westville and the industrial strip from Jacobs to Prospecton, so most of the metro is within a same day call-out.
Typical drum units requests in the area come from:
- Corporate and head offices: drums and imaging units replaced across a fleet as page counts come due
- Medical practices, clinics and hospitals: a drum for the reception printer so scans and letters print clean
- Factories, mines and warehouses: drums for printers in dusty sites where grit scratches the surface
