Operated by R.K. Black, Inc. — an independent, family-owned company serving Kansas City businesses for over 50 years from our Overland Park office.
Kansas City Copier is operated by R.K. Black, Inc., a family-owned business headquartered in Oklahoma City with deep, enduring roots in the Kansas City metro. From our Overland Park office at 8904 Nieman Rd, our team has been serving businesses across Kansas and Missouri for more than five decades — long enough to have earned the trust of some of the region's most demanding organizations.
We work with companies of every size, from single-location small businesses to large enterprise accounts in energy, healthcare, legal, and education. Whether you need one device or a fleet of 200, our specialists take time to understand your document workflow before recommending anything. We call it being "your VP of Documents" — a trusted advisor, not just a vendor.
As factory-authorized dealers for Kyocera, Sharp, and Canon, we offer the full depth of each brand's product line backed by trained, certified technicians. Our training specialists stay current on every model we sell, so you get expert support from people who actually know the equipment — not a call-center read from a script.
Four principles guide everything we do — from the equipment we recommend to the way we respond when something goes wrong.
We are an American-owned, family-based company with Kansas City roots spanning more than 50 years. We don't answer to distant shareholders or a corporate chain of command. Our decisions are made here, by people who live and work in this community. When you call our office, you reach someone who knows your account — not a national support queue.
We are not a here-today-gone-tomorrow operation. R.K. Black has maintained an established presence in the Kansas City region for over half a century, and we intend to be here for the next 50 years. Our legacy centers on the organizations we serve, not on short-term sales targets. We invest in relationships that outlast any single device lifecycle.
We think of ourselves as trusted advisors — your VP of Documents. That means we are on your side when evaluating options, proactive about flagging issues, and committed to finding solutions that fit your actual needs, even when the right answer is simpler than what we could upsell you on. Our clients stay with us because we earn that trust every service call and renewal.
We offer an extensive range of products and services — copier leasing, outright purchase, managed print, wide format, production print, document management software, and full service contracts. We are large enough to handle the needs of enterprise clients with complex multi-site deployments, and small enough to give every account the personal attention it deserves. Our knowledgeable specialists are on call, not out of reach.
From energy companies managing high-volume document workflows to neighborhood churches printing weekly bulletins, we understand the unique needs of organizations across every sector in Kansas and Missouri.
Every technician who services your equipment is factory-trained and authorized by the manufacturer — not a third-party contractor learning on the job. Our service team holds certifications directly from Kyocera, Sharp, and Canon, meaning we have access to genuine parts, technical bulletins, and escalation support that unauthorized dealers simply cannot provide.
Beyond the technicians, our office team includes dedicated training specialists who work with your staff after installation. Whether you need a 15-minute walkthrough for a small office or structured onboarding for a 200-person department, we make sure your people know how to get the most out of your equipment from day one.
We also maintain ongoing relationships with our clients through proactive account reviews — checking in on supplies usage, service history, and upcoming contract milestones before problems arise. That kind of attention does not happen by accident; it is built into how we operate.
