Why Choose the Kyocera TASKalfa 356ci?
1. Compact Design with A3 Capabilities
The 356ci is unique because it offers the advanced finishing and document handling typically found only in large A3 machines, but in a compact A4 frame. It is the perfect solution for Nairobi offices where space is at a premium but high-volume, professional-grade output is still a necessity.
2. Superior 1,200 dpi Color Output
With a true 1,200 x 1,200 dpi print resolution, this machine excels at producing high-impact marketing materials, brochures, and detailed reports. The multibit technology further enhances quality to a 9,600 dpi level, ensuring vibrant colors and razor-sharp text that make a lasting impression on clients.
3. Efficient Digital Archiving
Equipped with an optional one-path duplex document processor, the 356ci can scan up to 120 images per minute. This high-speed scanning, combined with the ability to scan directly to email, FTP, or USB, makes it an essential tool for Kenyan law firms and NGOs looking to streamline their digital record-keeping.
4. Low Environmental Impact & Cost
Kyocera’s ECOSYS technology is at the heart of the 356ci. The 200,000-page long-life drum and high-yield toner cartridges mean fewer consumables are used over the life of the machine. This not only reduces the cost per page but also aligns with the sustainability goals of eco-conscious Kenyan organizations.
5. Seamless Mobile Integration
Stay productive from anywhere in the office. The 356ci supports Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and Kyocera Mobile Print. Combined with the HyPAS™ platform, users can print directly from the cloud or mobile devices, ensuring that your team stays connected even when away from their desks.
Perfect For
Marketing agencies, mid-sized corporate departments, private medical clinics, and boutique law firms in Kenya that need professional color output and high-speed scanning in a space-efficient design.
Designed For
The Kyocera TASKalfa 356ci is the versatile color hub for Kenya’s growing professional sector. It is designed for the creative office in Kilimani that demands precise color matching and for the administrative suite in Mombasa that requires a durable, high-security engine for daily operations. It thrives in environments where quality and reliability are non-negotiable, but office space is carefully managed.
