Started in Ndabeni, built around real print rooms
MyColour began in Cape Town with a simple idea: if a business prints colour every day, it needs a supplier that understands the work and the pressure behind it. Proofs need to look right, posters need to hold up, and office colour jobs still need to leave the building on time. From our base in Ndabeni we support customers in Montague Gardens, Woodstock, Claremont, Bellville and Somerset West, with courier supply nationwide for teams further afield.
Over the years we have kept our focus tight. We supply desktop inkjet colour printers, large-format colour machines and the consumables that keep them going. That means customers can deal with one practical point of contact for machines, inks, media guidance and reordering. For many clients that saves time during busy periods and cuts down on the back-and-forth that usually comes with colour printing.
We work with small creative teams and larger operations alike. Some customers come to us because they need a new setup for a studio. Others call when a machine starts missing colour, when humidity is affecting media, or when it is time to move from office colour to a wider format. The work may be different, but the need is the same: reliable output without unnecessary fuss.
What we believe a good print supplier should do
We keep to a few simple values that shape the way we work each day. Practical advice comes first, followed by clear communication and careful support on every order. A customer should know what ink suits the machine, what paper or film is worth using, and when a printer needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
- Be honest about what a printer can and cannot do
- Match the machine to the work, not the other way around
- Keep consumables organised so downtime is reduced
- Support colour consistency for proofs, posters and production runs
- Help customers with setup or supply when they need it
In Cape Town and other coastal areas, we also pay attention to the conditions people work in. Heat, dust and humidity can affect print quality and media handling, especially where machines run for long hours. We factor that into our recommendations so the advice is useful on the floor, not just on paper.
The same approach applies to load-shedding and power interruptions. Many customers need to protect their printers and plan around stopping and starting during the day. Good planning can save ink, paper and time, and that is often where our support makes the biggest difference.
The people you deal with at MyColour
MyColour is a hands-on team, and clients often appreciate knowing who does what. Danie Vosloo leads the business as Managing Director and keeps the overall direction steady. Zanele Mkhize handles sales and helps customers choose the right printer or consumable path. Oarabile Xaba supports wide-format work and setup questions. Pieter Smit takes care of service and maintenance matters, while Boitumelo Shabalala manages consumables planning and reordering. Jason Daniels leads dispatch so orders move out cleanly and on time.
Because the team is small and specialised, customers do not get passed around more than necessary. If a design studio needs media matching, or a sign shop wants to check ink compatibility before a rush job, the right person can step in quickly. That sort of direct support matters when work is due the same day and everyone is under pressure.
- Printer installation and user handover
- Wide-format setup and media matching
- Ink supply planning and consumable reordering
- Preventive maintenance and print quality checks
- Remote help and collection coordination
How we guide customers from office colour to wide-format
Not every business needs a large machine from day one. Some start with desktop inkjet colour printers for internal documents, branded handouts and proofing. As the volume grows, the work may shift to posters, signage or larger presentation pieces. At that stage, we help customers think through the move to wide-format in a calm and practical way.
We look at what is being printed, how often it is printed, and what finish is needed. We also ask about the space available, the operator experience and how the machine will be maintained. A printer that suits a small office may not suit a sign shop printing every day, and a wide-format machine only works well if the media, inks and workflow are matched properly.
Our advice is grounded in the day-to-day realities of South African business. Courier lead times matter. So does keeping spare consumables on hand when a client is far from Cape Town or when production cannot wait for a second delivery. We aim to help customers buy with fewer surprises and use their equipment more efficiently once it arrives.
Support that carries on after delivery and setup
We do not treat a sale as the end of the job. A printer that arrives without the right setup can waste media and time, so we place real value on installation, checks and handover. For some customers that means a straightforward desktop setup. For others it means wide-format configuration, nozzle checks, alignment checks and a walk-through for the team that will use it every day.
Our service approach is built around prevention where possible. Regular cleaning, simple maintenance routines and sensible consumable planning can avoid many of the faults that interrupt production. When something does go wrong, we try to respond in a way that keeps the customer moving, whether that means remote help, collection coordination or advice on the next step.
- Preventive maintenance for steady print quality
- Print checks before a major run
- Consumable planning to avoid stock gaps
- Remote help when the issue is straightforward
- Collection coordination where equipment needs attention
That support is especially useful for businesses with more than one site, or teams working across Cape Town and further into the Western Cape. The aim is to keep the colour side of the business predictable, even when other parts of the day are changing fast.
About MyColour’s South African print craft
Customers usually stay because the working relationship is simple. The range is clear, the advice is practical and the team understands that colour printing is part of a bigger workflow. Whether the job is a proof for a designer, a batch of office colour pages or a run of larger graphics, the same care applies to every order.
We also keep our communication direct. Customers know where we are, how to reach us and what kind of support to expect. If the job needs a different media choice, a better ink plan or a review of the machine being used, we say so clearly. That saves time and helps customers avoid buying equipment that is too small, too complex or not suited to the work.
MyColour is based in Ndabeni, Cape Town, but our service area is broader than one suburb. We support businesses in nearby industrial and commercial areas and courier supply across South Africa, so the same standard can reach customers whether they are around the corner or a few provinces away.
If you need colour printers, inks or straightforward guidance on keeping print work running, MyColour is set up to help with the day-to-day, not just the sale.
