Showroom Hours
A practical note on showroom opening times for printer visits, profile discussions and cartridge-related queries.
Where Showroom Hours matter on a working week
Current showroom hours cover visits about printers, ICC profiles and cartridge-related questions. Customers planning around production, travel or a machine discussion can use those opening times to time a stop properly. Check the current hours before coming through for a profile or print-related meeting.
Showroom Hours is the page to check before setting out with samples, media rolls, or a printer fault to discuss. Traffic around Johannesburg, weather on the coast, and power interruptions can change whether a visit is useful for profile work or cartridge troubleshooting. For FastJET, Stormjet, and Skywalker users, the point is to arrive when there is time to look at the machine notes properly.
Bring one recent print, one nozzle check, and clear photos of the head area if the visit is about output quality. That gives the discussion a starting point before anyone opens software or pulls old settings from a phone. If the query is about cartridges, note the ink set, batch marking, and what changed just before the problem appeared.
Before you drive through
Plan profile reviews, printer handovers, and cartridge queries around the listed hours to avoid arriving in the middle of production pressure. A short visit works better when the media, file, and machine details are ready in advance. The aim is to deal with one live issue at a time, whether that is colour drift, feeding trouble, or an ink question.
Check the posted hours again before leaving, especially when the visit depends on a test print or profile discussion.

Visits that save workshop time
A showroom visit is most useful when the machine symptoms are written down clearly before travel starts. Note banding direction, pass mode, heater settings, and whether the issue shows on one file or every file. Customers coming from Durban, Cape Town, or smaller inland towns benefit from checking hours first so the trip lines up with the reason for the visit.
Humidity can affect vinyl handling, while dry inland conditions often show up first in dust around the print zone. Load-shedding also matters if the problem only appears after a restart or during a paused run. Those details help separate a profile discussion from a maintenance discussion when you arrive at the showroom.

What to have in hand
Check Showroom Hours before bringing samples, media, or a problem print. Include photos, press timing, and what has already gone wrong if the visit relates to profiling or ink notes.
Keep the file name, RIP setting, and media description with the sample you bring in. If there was a cartridge change, write down which colour was replaced and what the printer did on the next test. A visit goes better when the notes match the print and not just a message thread from earlier in the week.
