Copiers & machines in Gauteng: local notes
Lease renewals drive much of the market in Sandton, Rosebank and Menlyn, where fleets of floor standing A3 colour machines come up for replacement every three to five years. Government buyers in Pretoria usually go out on tender, so a <a href="/photocopier-leasing/">lease</a> quote must match the specification exactly. Small firms in Randburg, Bedfordview and Centurion often rent a desktop multifunction printer instead, and start ups on the East Rand pick up ex-lease machines for a fraction of the new price.
Who prints what in Gauteng
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: rarely bought used; ex-lease machines leave corporates and go for resale
- Small businesses and shops: a refurbished A4 copier with a warranty and a click contract to start with
- Schools, colleges and universities: a refurbished A3 copier for worksheets, with a spare for exam season
Local tips for Gauteng
Asked for most in Gauteng: copier leases for head offices, managed print for departments, toner for home offices. Where the dealers and technicians are: midrand, Centurion, Kya Sand, Isando, Silverton, Strijdom Park and the Rosslyn area. A useful tip: ask for the annual escalation and minimum monthly billing in writing before you sign.
Sizes vary: ex-lease A4 and A3 copiers, mono and colour. Here, corporate and head offices lead the requests, typically for rarely bought used; ex-lease machines leave corporates and go for resale. One local point to raise: technicians cover most suburbs within the hour; Sedibeng and far West Rand take longer.
