Printing, Photocopying, Binding & Lamination in Ruiru
Grayscale and full-colour printing, photocopying, scanning, spiral binding and lamination at Bushgate, next to Ola Petrol Station. Send the file on WhatsApp or walk in with a flash disk — most jobs are finished while you wait.
Printed the way you meant it to look
A printout is usually the last step of something that mattered — an application, a tender, a school project, a certificate somebody is going to look at closely. That is why we look at the file before it goes to the printer.
Margins that will cut off a signature, a table that spills onto a second page, a photo that will come out dark, a form scaled to the wrong paper size: these are the things that cost people a second trip. We catch them at the counter, show you on screen, and print once.
Black and white or full colour, A4 or A3, one page or three hundred — the same care applies.
Grayscale & colour
Crisp black-and-white text for documents, and full colour for photos, charts, flyers and certificates.
A4 & A3
Standard and large format, single or double sided, on normal paper or heavier card stock.
Bulk & urgent
High-volume runs collated and finished, with an honest collection time rather than a hopeful one.

Scanning that online portals actually accept
Half of all scanning problems are not the scan — they are the file. A portal that wants one PDF under 1 MB will reject four photos taken on a phone, no matter how clear they are.
- Scan to PDF
- Scan to email
- Scan to WhatsApp
- Scan to USB
- Several pages into one file
- File size reduced to fit limits
- Straightened and cropped
- ID front and back on one page
Scanning, emailing and file fixing
Bring the original and tell us where it needs to go. We scan it clean and straight, merge the pages into a single PDF, shrink it if an upload limit demands it, and send it to your email or WhatsApp before you leave the counter.
We also handle the small conversions that hold applications up: PDF to Word, Word to PDF, photos resized to a required dimension, and documents split or combined.
Your documents stay yours. Anything personal — IDs, certificates, medical or bank papers — is scanned, sent and cleared from the machine.
Binding and lamination
The finishing that decides whether a document looks prepared or thrown together.
Binding
Spiral, comb and tape binding for anything that needs to hold together and open flat on a desk.
- Spiral binding
- Comb binding
- Tape binding
- Thesis and project binding
- Proposals and tenders
- Reports and manuals
- Clear covers and card backing
- Punching and filing
Lamination
Sealed edge to edge so the plastic will not lift after a week in a wallet or on a wall.
- A4 and A3
- ID and card size
- Certificates
- Business cards
- Photos
- Menus and price lists
- Notices and signs
- Matte or gloss
Bringing a project to bind? Print and bind in the same visit and we can check the page order, the cover page and the margins before anything is punched — a rebind costs more than a second look.
Printing questions we are asked most
Can I send a document on WhatsApp and collect the printout?
Yes, and it is the fastest way. Send the file to 0717 431 171, say whether you want black and white or colour, how many copies, and whether it should be bound or laminated. We confirm the price, print it, and message you when it is ready.
What paper sizes do you print?
A4 and A3 as standard, in black and white or full colour, single or double sided. If you need an unusual size or a heavier card, ask first and we will tell you honestly whether we can do it.
Do you do bulk printing and photocopying?
Yes. Bulk runs are collated, stapled or bound as you need them. For large jobs, call ahead so we can have the paper and toner ready and give you a realistic collection time.
How long does spiral binding take?
A normal project or report is bound while you wait, usually within a few minutes of printing. Very large documents or several copies at once may take a little longer, and we will tell you before you commit.
Can you scan my document and email it for me?
Yes. We scan to PDF and send it straight to your email or WhatsApp, and we can merge several pages into one file or shrink the file size when an online portal refuses to accept it.
