Mamatha Art Printers

You can find us near the Delhi Gate in Chamrajpet, over at Belgium Square. The shop is usually full of the smell of ink and the sound of paper moving through the machines. We do all sorts of printing work, from small cards to larger batches for local events. It is a bit messy sometimes with stacks of paper everywhere and trimmings on the floor, but that is just how a print shop looks. We have been at this address, number 47, for quite a while. Most of our customers are from the neighborhood or have been coming to us for years. We do not have a big fancy storefront, just a simple entrance where you can see the machines working in the back. Sometimes the old machines need a bit of a kick to get started, but they still produce good work. We spend a lot of time checking colors and making sure the text is clear. My hands usually have a bit of ink on them by the end of the day. It is a lot of standing and watching the rollers turn. We aren’t a big corporate printing house, just a local spot where you can talk to the person actually doing the printing. Chamrajpet is a historic area and we like being part of the life here near the gate. We have a big heavy wooden table where we do all the cutting and folding. It has been with us since we opened. Sometimes the paper dust gets in your nose, but we don't mind it.
