Suryodaya Graphics

Down here in Sewree at the Sonai Industrial Estate, things stay pretty loud. We’ve been running Suryodaya Graphics from unit B/5 for a long time. It’s an industrial area, so there’s always trucks moving around and people shouting over the noise of machines. Inside our shop, it usually smells like ink and fresh paper. We spend most of our time setting up plates or checking colors on the prints that come off the press. It’s not the cleanest job in the world, and our hands are usually stained with something by the end of the day. We do all sorts of jobs, from small cards to bigger stuff that needs a lot of attention. Sometimes the machines act up or a paper jam slows us down, but we just get in there and fix it. We aren't a big agency with people in suits. We are just printers who know how the ink reacts to different stocks. Our space is crowded with stacks of finished work and half-used rolls of paper. Clients usually just drop by with a file on a thumb drive and we talk through what they need while we stand around the main table. It’s a practical way of working. We don't go in for fancy talk; we just focus on getting the lines straight and the colors looking right before the customer comes back to pick them up in the evening. There is always a lot to do, and we just keep the machines running.
