Why Choose the Bizhub C308?
Exceptional Color Management
The C308 utilizes Simitri® HD polymerized toner, which features smaller, more uniform particles than conventional toner. This results in incredibly sharp text and vibrant, photographic-quality images, ensuring that your business proposals and marketing materials stand out with a professional sheen.
High-Speed Digitization
When equipped with the optional single-pass dual-scan document feeder, the C308 can digitize double-sided originals at a staggering 160 images per minute. This makes it an ideal tool for Kenyan firms looking to transition toward paperless workflows and high-speed archiving.
Customizable Control Center
The 9-inch touch panel isn't just a screen; it's a personalized workstation. You can drag-and-drop frequently used functions to the home screen, creating "soft keys" that allow even temporary staff to handle complex scanning or finishing tasks with zero training.
Robust Mobile Support
With an embedded mobile touch area on the operation panel, the C308 supports NFC (Near Field Communication) for instant pairing. This allows staff to print documents directly from their mobile devices simply by touching them to the printer, supporting the mobile-first culture of modern Kenyan workplaces.
Modular Finishing Options
The C308 grows with your business. You can start with basic printing and add modular finishing options as needed including 50-sheet stapling, hole-punching, tri-folding for mailers, and 80-page booklet creation for professional reports.
Perfect For
Fast-growing SMEs, creative studios, legal departments, and educational administrative offices across Kenya that require a reliable, high-quality color hub without the footprint of a full production press.
Tailored to Your Needs
The C308 is designed for flexibility. Whether you need to print a 1.2-meter banner for a storefront in Nairobi or thousands of duplexed invoices for a distribution center in Mombasa, its ability to handle heavy media (up to 300 gsm via the bypass tray) ensures you never have to outsource your specialized print jobs.
Designed For
The bizhub C308 is the ultimate collaborator for Kenya’s ambitious mid-sized teams. It’s designed for the design agency in Kilimani that needs pinpoint color accuracy for client proofs, and for the bustling NGO office in Gigiri that requires secure, high-speed scanning to keep global partners updated in real-time. It thrives where efficiency meets creativity, acting as a silent partner that manages your document lifecycle so you can focus on scaling your business. From the boardroom to the mailroom, it provides the premium experience of the i-Series with the proven durability of the bizhub legacy.
