What to know locally in Gauteng
Service contracts with a response time written in are normal for corporate fleets, and many large offices in Sandton and Midrand have moved to <a href="/managed-print-services/">managed print</a> with remote meter readings. After a summer storm, technicians are busiest replacing power supplies, so a surge protector is cheap insurance. Law firms and hospitals use shredding services with locked bins and a certificate of destruction, and copy shops cluster around Braamfontein and Hatfield for student binding.
Gauteng: the offices, the volumes and the dealers
More copiers are installed in Gauteng than anywhere else in the country, and the reason is simple: head offices. Banks, insurers and consultancies fill towers in Sandton, Rosebank and Parktown, while national and provincial departments in Pretoria print tenders, reports and forms by the box. Attorneys near the courts in the Johannesburg and Pretoria CBDs need A3 copies and secure shredding, and universities in Braamfontein, Auckland Park and Hatfield keep copy shops busy. Highveld summer storms bring lightning, and the surge when power returns after load-shedding is a common cause of dead boards. Dealers and technicians are spread through Midrand, Centurion, Kya Sand, Isando and Silverton, so most offices are within easy reach of a call-out.
The requests we see from Gauteng usually come from:
- Corporate and head offices: copiers on several floors fixed under contract with written response times
- Small businesses and shops: one office copier repaired out of contract after a jam or error code
- Schools, colleges and universities: a busy A3 copier repaired fast before exam papers have to be printed
