What is document scanning and archiving, and how much does it cost in Kenya?
Document scanning and archiving is the process of turning your physical paper files into digital copies you can store, search and share. Print Lion uses high-speed machines that scan any size up to A3 at up to 200 images per second, and we deliver your files as PDF, JPEG or searchable OCR text. Pricing starts from Ksh 5 per page and depends on the quantity and the condition of your documents. There is no fixed minimum, we accept any number of documents. Scanning is done as you wait, though large jobs take longer, and delivery is available to all counties in Kenya, or you can collect from our office on Moi Avenue.
High-speed scanning
Our machines scan up to 200 images per second, so even large boxes of paper turn into digital files quickly. Small jobs are done as you wait.
Searchable OCR text
Choose OCR and your scans become text you can search and copy, not just flat images. That makes finding a single clause or figure across hundreds of pages simple.
Built for tenders and bids
Business people preparing tender and bidding documents rely on this service, along with law firms, schools and corporates. We handle mixed sizes, bound files and sensitive papers.
Delivered your way
Pick up your files by email, WhatsApp, a shareable link or a USB drive. Delivery to all counties in Kenya is available, or collect from our office.
