A Cape Town base with South African reach
UV Ink is based in Epping, Cape Town, and the team works with customers in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and Gqeberha every day. The team supplies UV-curable inks for flatbed and roll-to-roll printers and backs each order with guidance that busy print shops can act on. Michael van Wyk leads the business with a steady eye on service, stock flow and the real demands of production.
Because UV inks cure under ultraviolet light, the details matter. Different substrates, printer settings and lamp output can change adhesion and finish, so the team spends time checking the job properly instead of rushing it.

- Courier delivery support across South Africa
- Practical help for flatbed and roll-to-roll setups
Michael van Wyk keeps the business moving
Michael van Wyk oversees the day-to-day direction of the company and keeps the team focused on the needs of printers, sign shops and packaging users. He understands that UV ink work is about more than colour on a sheet. It is about cured film strength, adhesion on the right surface, and consistency from first sample to repeat order.
He also makes sure the team stays close to what customers need on the ground. That means clear feedback, proper follow through and enough stock planning to support repeat supply without unnecessary delays. In a business where missed deadlines can hold up an entire production run, that kind of attention matters.
Sales and technical support that talk to each other
Lindiwe Maseko manages sales with a practical approach, helping customers choose the right ink type for the printer and the job. She works closely with Hennie Opperman so compatibility checks do not get separated from the order itself. That matters when a client needs help matching ink behaviour to a specific media type or production workflow.
Hennie Opperman leads technical support and handles the finer points of curing guidance, adhesion testing and colour trial support. He assists with questions about ink laydown, curing window, surface preparation and whether a job is better suited to a short test first. His advice is especially useful when a printer operator is trying to maintain output quality while keeping waste down.

Operations, logistics and careful stock handling
Shanaaz Allie keeps operations organised so the right ink gets where it needs to be, with the correct paperwork and a clean handover. She supports sample pack prep, repeat order management and production planning, which helps customers avoid last-minute pressure when a job is already booked on machine time. Her work keeps things orderly from enquiry to dispatch.
Moagi Shirinda manages logistics and courier stock support, making sure deliveries are packed properly and sent with care. He coordinates movement to Bellville, Paarl and the wider metro areas too, so local customers are not left waiting when they need supplies quickly.
- Sample Pack Prep for testing before full production
- Repeat Order Management for regular users
- Courier stock support across major South African routes
Customer service and training for the print floor
Nadine Motaung is often the steady first point of contact for customers who need help getting an enquiry moving. She follows up, keeps communication clear and makes sure the right person responds when a job needs technical input or stock confirmation. Her role is important because print work rarely runs on guesswork, especially when clients need dependable timing.
Thabo Steyn leads training support and helps operators work more confidently with UV-curable ink, curing settings and safe handling routines. He reminds customers to follow the safety data sheet for every product, use gloves and keep good workshop discipline during filling, cleaning and changeovers. That kind of guidance helps reduce avoidable problems on the floor, and it keeps people safer too.
For customers in a busy production environment, the value is in knowing who to speak to and what to expect. The team works together so that service, handling, technical advice and delivery support all line up properly.
What customers can ask us for
The team covers more than just supply. Customers often need help choosing between options, checking whether an ink will suit a substrate, or working out how to get better curing and adhesion on a particular printer setup. The support is practical, grounded in experience and shaped around the realities of South African print rooms.
If you are planning a new job or dealing with a repeat order, the team can help with:
- Printer compatibility checks
- Adhesion and curing guidance
- Operator training and safe handling briefings
- Production planning for short deadlines
- Remote tech help when the issue can be solved without a site visit
Clients reach the team through the enquiry form on the contact page, and from there the right person can take the next step. Whether the work is for Epping, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria or Gqeberha, the aim is the same: keep the print moving and the support clear.
