Supplies & equipment in Upington: local notes
Offices and farms in Upington buy toner, ink and A4 paper locally, but some cartridge codes may need to be ordered in, so keep a spare. Copier rental firms serve the town, but ask about the service response time, since some technicians may travel from far. Heat and dust cause printer faults, so keep machines in a cool room and ask repairers about regular servicing and the call-out fee to Kakamas or Keimoes.
Upington: the work, the weather and the print shops
Distance is the first thing to plan for when you print in Upington. The town sits on the Orange River far from the metros, so courier routes are long and specialised stock can take days to arrive. What keeps local print shops busy is the irrigation farming along the river: table grapes, raisins and wine need carton labels, packhouse stickers and branded workwear, and the harvest brings rush orders. The Kalahari and the Kgalagadi park bring tourism, and the solar energy projects in the region add construction and safety work. Paballelo and the river towns add funerals, churches and sport clubs. Print shops and sign makers sit in the town centre. The UV here is extreme, so outdoor print must be made for it.
Typical printers requests in the area come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: a digital production printer, wide format or DTF printer for a print business
- Small businesses and start-ups: a colour multifunction for quotes, flyers and scanning invoices to the accountant
- Events, conferences and clubs: a photo printer and a label printer for prints and badges on the day
