Cape Town notes on service & support
Large firms in the city often move to managed print, with remote meter reading, automatic toner, secure follow-me print and reports by department. Ask how scan to email is set up with modern sign-in, since it often breaks after an email change. Law firms and hospitals use shredding services with locked bins and certificates of destruction, and copy shops near the courts and the university campuses handle bundles and theses.
Who prints what in Cape Town
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.
Typical managed print services requests in the area come from:
- Corporate and head offices: a fleet across floors and branches audited, cut down and monitored remotely
- Government and municipalities: printers across many municipal sites on one contract from a tender
- Small businesses and shops: a few printers and one copier brought onto one monthly page bill
