Are Your Printers in Need of a Rescue? That Dreaded Flashing Light…
Let’s paint a picture. You’re up against a tight deadline. The proposal is finalized, the report is ready, and all you need is that crisp, hard copy to seal the deal. You hit "Print," and... nothing. Just a silent, mocking stare from your machine. Or worse, the dreaded blinking error light, a cryptic message on the screen, and the sound of paper crunching into an accordion somewhere deep inside. Does this sound familiar?
In today's fast-paced world, whether you're running a bustling office in Nairobi's CBD, a creative studio in Westlands, or managing your home business, a broken printer isn't just an inconvenience; it's a roadblock. It grinds productivity to a halt, causes immense frustration, and can genuinely impact your bottom line.
The Lifeblood of Your Office is Offline. Now What?
Before you consider wrestling that heavy machine out the door or, even worse, throwing it out and buying a new one, take a deep breath. There's a much smarter, faster, and more cost-effective solution. You don't need a new printer; you need a professional rescue mission. You need a team that understands the intricate mechanics and electronics of your device, a team that can diagnose the issue quickly and get you back to printing without breaking a sweat.

Our Comprehensive Suite of Repair and Maintenance Services
Vandeberg Imaging Supplies isn't just about fixing what's broken; we offer a full spectrum of services to keep your office equipment in peak condition.
On-the-Spot Diagnostics: Getting to the Root of the Problem
The first step to any successful repair is an accurate diagnosis. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and their extensive experience to pinpoint the exact cause of the failure. We don't guess; we identify the core issue, whether it's mechanical, electrical, or software-related.
On-Site Troubleshooting and Repair: We Come to You!
Why unplug a dozen cables and lug a heavy printer across town? Our mobile technicians provide on-site troubleshooting and repair services across Nairobi and surrounding areas. This is the ultimate in convenience, minimizing disruption to your workday. We'll fix your machine right where it stands.
Preventative Maintenance: The Secret to a Long-Lasting Printer
The best repair is the one you never have to make. Just like a car, your printer needs regular servicing to prevent major breakdowns. Our preventative maintenance service includes thorough cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, calibration, and installation of maintenance kits. This not only extends the life of your printer but also ensures consistent, high-quality printing and helps you avoid costly emergency repairs down the line.
Complete Printer Rebuilds: Breathing New Life into Old Machines
Have a high-end printer that has served you well but is now showing its age? Don't write it off! In many cases, a complete printer rebuild can restore it to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of a replacement. We'll strip it down, replace all worn components, clean it inside and out, and reassemble it to factory specifications.
We Speak Your Printer’s Language: All Brands, All Models
Are you worried that we might not service your specific brand? Chances are, we do. Our team's expertise is vast and covers the entire landscape of printer manufacturers. We are your one-stop repair shop in Nairobi.

Epson printers are renowned for their photo quality, while Brother machines are known for their reliability. We handle everything from Epson EcoTank system problems to Brother's notorious "drum error" messages. Our status as an Authorized Epson Repair Centre gives us an edge no one can match.

Your Authorized Epson Repair Centre in Nairobi, Kenya
This isn't just a claim; it's a certification. Vandeberg Imaging Supplies is proud to be an Authorized Epson Repair Centre in Nairobi. This is a significant distinction that directly benefits you, our customer.
What Does "Authorized" Mean for You?
Choosing an authorized center is the smartest decision any Epson printer owner can make. It means we have been vetted, trained, and certified directly by Epson to meet their exacting standards of quality and service.
Warranty Protection and Peace of Mind
If your Epson printer is still under warranty, having it serviced by an unauthorized party could void that warranty. As an authorized center, we perform repairs that honor your Epson warranty, giving you complete peace of mind.

Specialized Epson Services: From WIC Resets to Printhead Replacement
Does your printer display a message like "Parts inside your printer are at the end of their service life" or "Waste ink pad is full"? Don't panic, and definitely don't buy a new printer! This is a common issue where the waste ink counter needs to be reset. We provide official WIC Reset Services to instantly resolve this error. We also perform complex hardware repairs like genuine Epson printhead and power supply replacements.
Facing a Printer Meltdown? Common Problems We Fix in a Flash
Over the years, we've seen every printer problem imaginable. Here are some of the most common issues we are called to resolve daily.
The Infamous Paper Jam: Clearing It and Preventing Its Return
A paper jam is more than just an annoyance; if cleared incorrectly, it can damage sensitive components. We don't just remove the stuck paper; we inspect the paper path, clean the pickup rollers and separation pads, and identify the root cause to prevent it from happening again.
Cryptic Error Codes and Flashing Lights Deciphered
Error 50.4, Error 79, "Toner Low" when it's full... these messages can be baffling. Our technicians are fluent in "printer-speak." They can immediately interpret these codes to understand if it's a fuser error, a firmware glitch, or a sensor failure, leading to a much faster diagnosis and repair.
Faded, Streaky, or Splotchy Prints? We'll Restore Your Quality
Poor print quality can ruin a crucial document. This can be caused by a number of issues: a dirty printhead, a failing drum unit, a defective toner cartridge, or a worn-out transfer belt. We will meticulously diagnose the cause and replace the necessary components to restore your prints to their crisp, clear, and vibrant best.
Connectivity Nightmares: When Your Computer and Printer Aren't Talking
You've clicked print, but the job is just sitting in the queue. Is it the Wi-Fi? The USB cable? The network settings? The driver? We resolve these frustrating connectivity issues daily. We can reconfigure your network settings, reinstall drivers, and ensure a stable, reliable connection between all your devices and your printer.
The Anatomy of a Fast Repair: Our Massive Stock of Spare Parts
What's the biggest delay in most repair jobs? Waiting for parts to be ordered and shipped. We've eliminated that bottleneck. We maintain a large, comprehensive inventory of genuine spare parts for all major printer brands right here in our Nairobi workshop.
Why In-Stock Parts are a Game-Changer for Your Repair
Having parts on hand means we can start working on your printer immediately. There's no "we'll have to order that in" delay. This is the key to our fast turnaround and a cornerstone of our promise to get you back to business quickly. Our vast stock ensures a 99% first-time, on-site fix rate.
From Fuser Assemblies to Logic Boards: We've Got the Core Components
We stock the critical, high-failure-rate components that other shops might not. This includes:
Fuser Assembly (Laser): The unit that bonds toner to paper.
Print Head (Inkjet): The heart of any inkjet printer.
Logic Board/Formatter Board: The "brain" of the printer.
Power Supply Unit (PSU): The component that powers the entire machine.
Laser Scanner Unit (LSU): Essential for any laser printer's operation.
Rollers, Belts, and Gears: The Mechanical Bits That Matter
It's often the small mechanical parts that wear out and cause issues. We stock an extensive range of:
Paper Pickup Rollers & Separation Pads: The most common cause of paper jams.
Transfer Rollers & Belts: Crucial for image quality in laser printers.
Carriage Belts: Controls the movement of the printhead in inkjets.
Drive Gears, Springs, and Sensors: The hundreds of small but vital pieces that keep everything moving in sync.
