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.
