The project is for setting up a printing press to undertake job work of printing matters. For this purpose, the unit will install mechanical platen press which can be manually/electrically operated.
The unit has to obtain necessary license from the local municipality/ corporation and registration as SSI unit from concerned Directorate of Industries/Commissioner of Industries to get Government assistance to run the unit.
The provisioning for electricity and other infrastructural arrangements, procurement and installation of machines, marketing campaign etc. may take about three months to start regular functioning of the workshop unit.
2. MARKET POTENTIAL
The market for printing works is very wide as printing is required in almost every field of life viz, advertisement, communication, education etc. Various educational institutions (both in government and non-government sectors) require lot of printed materials to run their activities. Political parties, tutorial hom, shops etc. are getting the printing job done for various types of hand bills and publicity materials to promote their activities. Stationery shops require printed matters for diary, name plate, cover pages of note books etc.
Considering the aforesaid growing trends in the field of printing work, starting of venture in this line with less costly platen type printing machine, will yield sound return to the entrepreneur especially, if the unit is set up in rural and backward areas.

The composed material is then fed to the printing press machine, and the impressions are obtained on the papers by mechanical operation of the printing press.
(b) Sales Target (Per annum) Rs.6,00,000
