Two Toshiba dealers, and this is the print one
This listing was held back for months because of a genuine trap. Two South African dealers use the Toshiba name with similar branding, and one of them does sell phone systems. The company matching this listing is Copy Type Electronics (Pty) Ltd at 3 Highview Boulevard, whose site sells copiers, printers and Duplo duplicators and nothing else. The other, trading as TOSHIBA Sandton on a different domain, sells PABX. Building either as a phone supplier would have misrepresented one of them, so the listing now names both and points telephony buyers elsewhere. On its own terms Copy Type is a substantial business: thirty-eight years trading, 4.4 from thirty-four reviewers, and a published print contract rate from 49 cents a page, which is more transparency than most office automation dealers offer. Phone system buyers should compare the providers in the cloud PBX directory.
Who Copy Type Electronics is a fit for
- Businesses buying or renting copiers and office printers
- Companies wanting a per-page print contract rather than equipment outright
- Offices needing Duplo duplicating equipment

Does Copy Type sell phone systems?
No. The company’s own site lists copiers, colour and monochrome printers and Duplo duplicators only. No telephone system, PABX or VoIP product appears anywhere. For telephony, compare the providers listed in this directory.
Is this the same as TOSHIBA Sandton?
No, and this is the point worth reading. Copy Type Electronics (Pty) Ltd operates from 3 Highview Boulevard on toshibasa.co.za and sells print equipment. A separate dealer trading as TOSHIBA Sandton on toshibacopiers.co.za does sell PABX. They are different businesses.
How long has Copy Type been trading?
The company states it has proudly served businesses for 38 years, though it publishes no specific founding year.
What does printing cost?
One figure is published: a colour print contract from 49 cents per page. Equipment pricing is quoted per machine and contract, so ask for the monthly cost, the page allowance and the rate for pages beyond it.
Where is Copy Type based?
3 Highview Boulevard, Johannesburg, Gauteng, 2194. The Google Business Profile for Copy Type Electronics (Pty) Ltd confirms the same address.
Why is a print dealer in a telecoms directory?
Because people search the name and deserve an accurate answer. WhichVoIP lists it under Distributors and Manufacturers, states plainly that it sells no telephony, and points phone system buyers to providers who do.
