Photo print service in Kenya

Print photographs to specified sizes with consistent cropping and handling.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional sample order: print 40 client-owned event photographs at 10 × 15 cm with a glossy finish, supplied as 40 individually selected digital files. Deliver one numbered set in protective packaging, with two paid test prints approved before the run. Retouching, licence clearance, image enlargement and delivery to multiple addresses are outside this scope. The buyer chooses either complete-image borders or an approved crop; borderless printing can trim the picture and should never be assumed acceptable for a group portrait.

Who is the first customer?

Families, photographers and local organizations.

Test the offer

Print a small proof set before taking a larger order.
