Smarter Printing for Durban Schools — Local Support, Real Results

If you’re running a school in Durban, you know the challenges aren’t just about paper and toner.

It’s the heat. The coastal humidity. The mix of older buildings and high-demand staff rooms. The limited IT budgets and the high expectations from parents, boards, and staff.

In other words: your printers have a tough job.

At Syntelo, we’ve partnered with schools across Durban and the greater KZN coast to simplify printing, reduce costs, and make sure everything just works — with real, local support.

The Durban School Print Challenge

Here’s what we see again and again:

• A worn-out MFP trying to do everything for everyone
• No idea where the print budget is going
• Admin staff manually ordering toner (often too late)
• Teachers frustrated by queues and jams
• No tracking = no control

Sound familiar?

A Setup That’s Actually Built for Durban Schools

We’ve rolled out tailored school print setups across Ballito, Berea, Umhlanga, Westville, Hillcrest and beyond.
Here’s what’s working:

✅ Riso or Duplo for worksheets, tests, newsletters — fast, reliable, cost-saving
✅ Olivetti MFPs for admin — compact, secure, connected
✅ PaperCut to track, allocate, and reduce usage
✅ Code-based printing to stop the free-for-all
✅ Toner monitoring + auto-support built into your contract
✅ Fast local service from KZN-based support teams

“We used to waste hours every month chasing toner, logging calls, and reprinting jammed packs. Now it’s all streamlined. Syntelo just gets it.”
– School Principal, Umhlanga

We’re authorised Olivetti South Africa and Riso dealers, which means we don’t just drop off a printer — we build a proper plan.
