Supplies & parts in KwaZulu-Natal: local notes
Damp is the main supply issue: store reams sealed, flat and off the floor, and only open what you will use that day. Toner suppliers run regular deliveries from Pinetown and Westmead across the metro. Schools in Pietermaritzburg and Newcastle order <a href="/photocopy-paper/">paper</a> before exams, and attorneys in the Durban CBD go through binding and A3 sheets. Corrosion means some parts wear faster.
Offices and printing in KwaZulu-Natal
Humidity is the first thing a copier technician in KwaZulu-Natal will mention. Along the coast from Port Shepstone to Richards Bay, damp air curls paper and causes jams, and salt air slowly corrodes metal parts. Durban's port supports clearing and forwarding agents who print stacks of customs documents, and offices in Umhlanga Ridge, Westville and the Durban CBD hold insurers, attorneys and corporate branches. Pietermaritzburg is the provincial capital with departments, courts and a university campus. Richards Bay has its own port and heavy industry, and Newcastle has steel and textile factories. Dealers and workshops are found in Pinetown, Westmead, Springfield Park and Umhlanga, with Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay served locally too.
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
- Law firms, accountants and agents: drum replacement on a copier printing long contracts and court bundles
- Government and municipalities: drum units bought on a quotation for out of contract office printers
