Ashwini Prints

Our shop, Ashwini Prints, is over in the Shripal Industrial Estate at Chandra Layout. We are near Golani Naka in Waliv, right by the Aadishwar showroom. It’s a busy industrial pocket where everyone is busy making something. Our place is filled with the smell of ink and the constant rhythmic sound of the printing presses. We have stacks of paper everywhere and boxes waiting to be shipped out. It’s not the most organized-looking place, as there is always a new job being started before the old one is completely cleared away. We do all sorts of printing work, mostly for local businesses that need things like labels or forms. The machines are old but they still run well if you know how to treat them. We spend a lot of time adjusting the colors and making sure the paper feeds through without jamming. It’s a messy job sometimes, and we usually end the day with ink on our fingers. There is a small desk in the front where we handle the billing and talk to customers who stop by. It’s a family-style environment where we just get on with it. The area around Waliv is always crowded with delivery vans and workers, so there’s a lot of energy. We’ve been part of this neighborhood for quite a while now and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
