Load shedding and new printshop hours
We have had a careful look at load shedding and the new schedules for Johannesburg.
Our schedule is from 6am to 10am on Wednesdays and alternate weeks on Mondays and Fridays. What we have done to ensure our normal standards of production is met is install an extra black/white printer
Also last year we upgraded our litho printing with a 2 colour Heidelberg this has given us extra capacity which will take some time to fully utilize.
This has been good investment as we can cope with our workload without getting a generator. Once our workload increases we will get a generator. In order to get our business in line with these schedules we will open at 9:30am on the days of load shedding and close at 5pm. We will always work later for urgent jobs!
This is possible due to the spare capacity and our favourable load shedding times.
We will be opening at 9:30am on the following days:
- April 16th Wednesday
- April 21st Monday
- April 25th Friday
- April 30th Wednesday EDIT we have heard that there is no loadshedding this week so we open as normal at 7:30AM
- May 5th Monday Now there is a news item that Eskom is suspending load shedding so maybe everything is back to normal, I don’t even think the idiots at Eskom know.
- May 9th Friday
- May 14th Wednesday
- May 19th Monday
- May 23rd Friday
- May 28th Wednesday
This will be updated with any changes for the balance of the current load shedding period or changes in load shedding schedule.
Our aim is to give the best service we can and if this means buying a generator in the future we will.

Ian Franks
