Cape Town notes on supplies & equipment
Offices in the city centre, Claremont and Century City run copiers on rental contracts, with dealers and repairers across the northern and southern suburbs. Ask about the minimum billing, escalation and what happens at the end of the term. Power dips can damage older machines, so ask whether the repairer checks power supplies on a service call. Quote the make, model and cartridge code for toner and ink.
Cape Town: the work, the weather and the print shops
Film crews, ad agencies and the events calendar give the Mother City a different print rhythm from the rest of the country. Shoots need set graphics, prop prints and location paperwork; the CTICC brings conference backdrops and exhibition stands; and the summer tourist season fills orders for menus, maps, wine estate brochures and hotel stationery. Design studios in Woodstock and the city centre want fine papers, foiling and short runs, while Epping, Montague Gardens and Paarden Eiland host the big litho presses, sign makers and wide format printers. The summer southeaster tears banners, winter fronts bring heavy rain, and salt air near the coast is hard on steel.
