Sri Sai Balaji Arts Printers

Sri Sai Balaji Arts Printers is tucked away at No. 1- 7- 647 in Shastri Nagar. We are really close to the Pochamma Temple in Ramnagar, so we hear the temple bells all day long. The shop is pretty small and crammed with stacks of paper and different types of ink bottles. I usually have blue or black stains on my fingers that won't come off no matter how much I scrub. We have a couple of printing machines that have their own personalities. One of them likes to jam if you feed the paper too fast, so we have to be patient with it. Customers usually come in wanting things done "immediately," which makes for some stressful afternoons. We don't have a receptionist, so if the bell rings and I’m in the back, people have to wait a minute. The lighting in here isn't the best, but we know where everything is. We’ve been in Ramnagar for quite a while now and have seen many other shops come and go. People stop by for wedding cards, pamphlets, or just to get some photocopies. We don't do any big advertising. Most folks just know us because we’ve been at this address for years. Sometimes the neighborhood kids come in asking for scrap paper to draw on. It’s a messy, busy little shop, but it’s ours and we keep it running as best as we can every day.
