UV Ink

Matching an ink set to your printer and your media

Our customers include print shops, signage installers, display producers, packaging teams and production managers who need dependable supply and practical support. Some jobs are for indoor display work, others need better weather resistance or tougher handling on site. In Cape Town, Durban and other coastal areas, humidity can affect how a job behaves after printing, so material choice and curing discipline matter. In inland areas like Johannesburg and Pretoria, temperature shifts and production pace can raise different questions.

We work with teams that need clear advice, not guesswork. If your operator wants to know whether a substrate will accept UV ink, whether a primer is needed, or how long to leave a job before stacking, we can talk through the process and help you test it properly. We also assist with colour trial support and sample pack prep so you can check the finish before a larger run goes into production.

• Colour trial support for new jobs and repeat work
• Sample pack preparation for material testing
• Production planning for short runs and higher volume work
• Operator training for safe use and better day-to-day handling

Shipped from Epping to presses across the country

Our base in Epping puts us close to Cape Town's industrial and trade routes, which helps with quick turnaround and practical stock handling. We supply UV-curable inks locally in Cape Town, including Bellville and Paarl, and courier stock across South Africa to Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha.

Delivery planning is part of the service. Clients can reach us through the enquiry form on our contact page, and we use that first step to understand the printer type, the substrate, and the job timing before supply is confirmed.

The first litres from Epping

From a small unit in Epping, Michael van Wyk heard the same question from sign shops buying their first flatbed: will this ink stick to the board, and will it crack when the job bends? UV Ink stocks ink sets tried on local media and records what works. Testing before selling still guides the business.

Lindiwe Maseko looks after sales, and Hennie Opperman runs technical support, often with test prints on the customer's own media. Shanaaz Allie keeps operations steady, Moagi Shirinda dispatches from Epping, Nadine Motaung answers customers and Thabo Steyn shows operators how to set up and look after a new ink set.

Test first, then run the order

If the first test is done properly, the next order is easier. If a colour trial shows a better match on a particular substrate, the job goes smoother. If the courier stock arrives when it should, the team keeps working instead of waiting for material to arrive.

We aim to support the full process, from ink selection through to repeat order management. That includes helping with production planning, advising on curing settings, and giving practical feedback when a printer needs a second look. Clients in signage, graphics and packaging often need help with changing substrates, tighter turnarounds and seasonal demand, and they value a supplier who can keep up without overcomplicating the job.

When you need UV-curable inks for flatbed or roll-to-roll printing, and you want straightforward support from a South African team that understands the day-to-day realities of print production, UV Ink is ready to help.
