Best photocopy machine in kenya

When searching for a photocopy/printing machine in kenya, you will be having specific requirements for that printer/photocopier.

The main question is whether you need a colour or a black and white photocopier. This is the major consideration. Though a colour printer also makes black and white prints, its usually prudent to use a colour machine if the majority of your work is colour, for example if you are in the business of printing posters, fliers, business cards etc.
