Kala Kruti Printers

We are located in the Varlikar Building right on Girgaon Mahul Road. It’s a busy spot and sometimes it feels like the whole city is passing by outside our windows. Inside, it’s mostly the sound of the paper feeding through and the smell of fresh ink. We’ve got stacks of paper everywhere, different weights and colors, because people always need something different printed up. It isn't the quietest place to work, but we’ve gotten used to the hum of the machines over the years. Most of our day is spent checking the alignments and making sure the colors look okay on the page. We aren't a huge corporate chain, just a local shop where we know a lot of the people who walk through the door. Sometimes the machines act up or a delivery is late, and we just have to figure it out as we go. That’s just part of running a print shop in this neighborhood. We do a lot of small jobs for people nearby and some bigger ones when they come in. There is always a lot of dust from the paper cutting, so we are constantly cleaning off the counters. We like the feeling of finishing a stack of cards or a big poster and seeing it all boxed up and ready to go. It feels good to make something real that people can hold in their hands. Even after all these years, seeing the finished print still gives us a little bit of a thrill. We just take it one job at a time and try to make sure everything is legible and tidy before it leaves the building. It’s a simple life, but it keeps us busy and connected to the folks around Girgaon Mahul Road.
