The twenty year old National Print Press has an annual turnover of Rs 3.5 crore, while Enpee Printers has notched up Rs 8 lakh in two months. Proprietor Johney John said they have 60 customers who seek specialisation in commercial and package-printing.

With the investments, Enpee shall tap quality jobs. "There is a lot of competition in the non-premium segment of the industry," he said.
