It’s been a year of workarounds, Wi-Fi troubleshooting, hybrid meetings that could’ve been emails, and businesses across South Africa are asking one big question: “How do we work smarter, not harder?” At Smart Idea, our blog became a place where those questions were answered: practically, honestly, and without the tech jargon headache. Let’s roll out […]
It’s Monday morning. Your coffee machine is sputtering, the Wi-Fi is acting like it’s on holiday, and your inbox looks like it survived a Category 5 cyclone. Panic mode? Almost. Then you hear it. The gentle hum of your RISO printer getting to work. No complaints. No warm-up drama. Just smooth, lightning-fast prints, folding, binding, […]
Let’s talk about the behind-the-scenes legends of the office… the ones who quietly keep things running while everyone else gets the credit. No, not the HR team or the coffee machine (though, respect where it’s due). We’re talking about the printer. You don’t brag about them in meetings or thank them in your quarterly reports. […]

The Smart Way to Meet (Without Losing Your Cool) Picture this:It’s Monday morning in Sandton. The meeting invite said 09:00 sharp, but it’s now 09:18. The Wi-Fi’s playing hide and seek, someone’s mic sounds like it’s underwater, and poor Zanele is doing the “Can you hear me?” dance for the third time. The client’s smile […]
Let’s be real, no one’s ever thrown a party for their printer. You won’t see executives gathered around the TASKalfa doing a slow clap when it spits out a hundred perfect copies. But every smart business leader knows one thing: when your printer runs like clockwork, everything else does too. That crisp presentation? That signed contract? That last-minute […]

Let’s talk about a topic that never makes headlines, never trends on Instagram, and certainly never gets invited to the year-end function… printer consumables. Yes, toner cartridges, ink, paper.

For years, businesses have had only two real options when it came to productivity suites. Both are big, well-known, and widely adopted. But let’s be honest, they’re also showing their age.
