Choosing the Right Printer for Your Kenya Office

The Right Printer Matters

A mismatched printer causes frustration, high costs, and productivity loss. This guide helps you choose wisely.

Assess Your Needs

Print Volume

• Low (0-500/month): Desktop laser or inkjet
• Medium (500-5,000/month): Workgroup printer
• High (5,000+/month): Production-class or MFP

Print Types

• Text documents only → Mono laser
• Marketing materials → Color laser
• Photos/graphics → High-quality inkjet or color laser

Features Needed

• Scanning and copying → Multifunction (MFP)
• Large documents → A3 capability
• Remote workers → Cloud printing

Brand Considerations

Total Cost of Ownership

Consider beyond purchase price:

• Cost per page (toner + paper)
• Maintenance requirements
• Parts availability in Kenya
• Local service support

Local Support Matters

Choose brands with established service networks in Kenya. Fast repairs minimize downtime.
