OUR CORE VALUES

Quality Without Compromise

We uphold international print standards through color management, strict QA processes, and attention to detail — ensuring every project meets or exceeds expectations.

We consistently invest in new technology, materials, and methods to stay ahead of industry trends and deliver more efficient, cost-effective, and creative solutions.

We operate with honesty in pricing, communication, deadlines, and expectations. Our clients trust us because we do what we promise.

Every client, big or small, receives personalized support and a dedicated point of contact for smooth communication and a seamless project experience.

We understand the urgency of printing — especially for events and campaigns. Our processes are designed to meet deadlines without compromising quality.

We prioritize eco-friendly materials, low-VOC inks, responsible waste management, and FSC-certified paper options to reduce our environmental footprint.

We combine technical expertise with human talent to produce polished, accurate, and aesthetically strong results in every print job.

From prepress to installation, our workflow thrives on teamwork and open communication, ensuring consistency and excellence from start to finish.

Our Story

Red Ink began as a small, family-rooted print studio with one clear mission: to raise the standard of print quality in Kenya. What started as a modest operation has grown into a fully equipped production house trusted by leading brands and organisations.
Our journey has been guided by passion, innovation, and a dedication to mastering the art and science of print. Over the years, we expanded our capabilities — from digital and offset printing to large-format outdoor production, packaging, corporate branding, and on-site installation services.
Today, Red Ink stands as a symbol of craftsmanship, reliability, and technical excellence, continuously investing in equipment, people, and processes to meet the evolving needs of our clients.
