The basic aim of this pre-feasibility is to provide the basic information for setting up a printing press business. Printing Press is a capital oriented venture. The major cost of the project includes acquisition of printing and related machinery, which is almost 42% of the total project cost.
The output of this business is printed material and can be classified in to four broad categories: Promotional material, which includes items like financial reports, brochures,
catalogues posters calendars, diaries and visiting cards etc. Office stationery, which includes letterheads, printed files, vouchers, invoices,
inward/outward documents etc., and books of account. Publishing material, which includes literature books and text books etc. Packaging material includes packing material of all kinds like boxes, cartons etc.

The importance of the printing and graphic arts sector is often under-estimated. Due to stability in economy in last few years, there has been a positive trend in all major business sectors of the country. Print media is one of the most effective and economical mediums of communication and promotion and is used by all major businesses.
Since, the invention of printing press in 1436 by Gutenberg of Germany, it has contributed a lot towards evolution of humanity. Its significance in day to day business promotion and marketing cannot be ignored.
In today’s competitive environment, businesses require appropriate marketing & promotional tools to build product recognition in the market. From brochures to packaging all are means of effective sales promotion tools and require services of printing press.
Major share of customers for printing press are institutional buyers. Institutional buyers in Pakistan for printing press can be divided into following broad categories:
1.2.1 Business Sector
Due to stability in economy in past few years, a handsome amount of investment has taken place in the country’s business sectors. In year 2006-071, there was a growth of 8.4% in overall manufacturing industry, 8.8% in large-scale manufacturing and 8.0% in service sector. The overall growth in GDP in year 2006-07 was 7%.
There are more than 775 public limited companies listed in Pakistan with an immense requirement of printed material for their businesses. According to directorate of industries, more than 61,000 industrial units are operating only in the Punjab province.

1.2.2 Educational Sector
Another sector, which requires extensive services of printing press, is the educational sector in the form of books and other printed material. Government of Pakistan has realized the importance of increasing the literacy rate to jump start economic growth and alleviate poverty in the country. In year 2007-08, the Government has allocated $ 24.5 billion up by 23.1% for education, which is 50% higher than the previous year.
There were 156,732 primary, 39,370 middle, 22,909 secondary and 2,996 higher secondary educational institutes operating in Pakistan in year 2005-062.
11..33 LLeeggaall SSttaattuuss
The legal status for a printing press is recommended to be a sole proprietorship or partnership as the business has low capital investment. The benefits of registering the business as a partnership are:1. Less legal requirements for registration.2. Lower tax rates as compared to private or public limited company.
11..44 RReegguullaattiioonnssA printing press will require:1 Approval from Audit Bureau of circulation is required before starting of operations.2 Registration with income tax department and sales tax department.
The rate of general sales tax applicable on printing supplies is 15 %, if supplies are to registered counterparts and 18 % if supplies are to non registered businesses. The press may opt for turnover tax enrolment instead of GST, if its annual turnover does not exceed Rs. 2.5 million. The rate of turnover tax on supplies is 2% without deducting/adjusting any input tax (sales tax paid on purchase of raw material).
Income tax rate for the business will depend on the legal status of the firm, the prevailing rate of income tax for sole proprietor and partnership is in various slabs with maximum of 25%.

The proposed unit has a capacity of printing 14,000 impressions per hour with two (2)-printing machines. The proposed machines have ability to print sheets of 140x180mm to 483x640mm dimensions.
The attainment of the project capacity will depend upon the factors like involvement of the management to facilitate production, marketing, quality and design of the product, and the skills and motivation of the labour force involved in the production of products.
11..66 PPrroojjeecctt CCoosstt
The total project cost for setting up a printing press is calculated to be Rs 3.176 million. This also includes working capital requirement of Rs 0.980 million.

1 To obtain higher profits, it is really important to acquire order of all different printing jobs of a company.
2 Relations in business sector are really important in success of a printing press as it is a order based business.
3 Technical skills are really important for effectively operating the business, as skilled workers can reduce wastage, insure lower machine maintenance cost, in time delivery and quality finish of the product.
4 Order size is of a great importance for profitability of the business, as major cost of printing is the designing, image setting and plate making i.e. fixed costs. So, if the order size is large the cost per unit will be lower.

Lahore and Karachi are the two major centers of printing and publishing business in the country. There are approximately 167 printing presses in organized printing sector of Karachi3. In Punjab, total no. of presses are approximately 987 (out of which 690 are located in Lahore only) with installed capacity of 763,940,460 impressions per hour and employment absorption of around 4,800 people4. According to some estimates total investment in this printing and publishing in the Punjab only stands at Rs. 275 million.
Currently, printing industry in the country is segmented and unorganized. There is an association in Lahore named All Pakistan Small Printing Press Association but it is not fully operational and does not encompass the entire industry. However, printing business in Karachi is comparatively more organized and better documented. One major trade

The market for printed material in Pakistan has been developing steadily over the last decade. Books have the largest share in local printing industry. Almost 100% of the local demand is met by local industry, with the exception of some highly professional books (medical, business and engineering books). Major portion of this category consists of textbooks used by students from a variety of academic background. The details of educational institutes and enrollment in Pakistan are given in the table below:

As far as demand for industrial and promotional items is concerned, it can safely be assumed that every industrial unit whether it is large or small, requires services of printing press. There are 702 public listed companies in Pakistan and printing of quarterly and annual reports is mandatory for them. Current growth rate in manufacturing industries is 7.7% in large scale manufacturing 8.7%and in services sector 5.3%.
Industrial units mostly require services of printing press for their packaging material i.e. (labels, wrappings, boxes). The table below shows some of the industries acquiring the services of printing press for packaging purposes.

In the Design Stage the designer prepares the design of the product taking into account the overall look and feel of the paper. Text to be printed is typed and graphics to be shown are created. Designing of graphics is of two types, halftone and line art. Halftone is the reproduction of continuous-tone artwork (such as a photograph) through the application of a screen that converts the image into dots of various sizes. Line art is the art that is made up of continuous lines such as pen & ink drawings or typefaces. There is no tonal difference from one area to another. After designing the designer sets page layout and the design is sent to the pre-press department.
44..33..22 TThhee PPrreepprreessss SSttaaggee
In the Pre-press Stage the artwork is taken from its delivered state (either reflective art or digital file) all the way to the press plates. In pre-press stage:
1. The artwork is transformed to negative film either by imaging a digital file through an image setter, or by shooting reflective artwork with a copy camera.
2. The pages are stripped together into a flat9 that reflects how the pages will be printed on the press sheet.
3. The flat is burned onto a metal plate.
After the flat is burned onto the plate, the plate washed in the developing chemical. This developed plate is wrapped around the press cylinder.
For the purpose of this feasibility, this process will be outsourced because of the high capital cost of machinery and equipment used in the process and the infrequent use of machinery.The outsourcing rates for pre-press activities are as follows:
Cost of image setting Rs. 3.0 per square inch per color.
Development cost of plate making Rs. 50 per plate.
44..33..33 TThhee PPrriinnttiinngg SSttaaggee
The Printing Stage covers the transfer of an image to paper. Offset lithography is based upon the principle:
“The ink and water do not mix.”
The paper is fed through the press from a pile of paper already cut to the size of the machine. Offset printing presses print at a high speed. The speed can reach 6,000 impressions per hour in case of Rota and 8,000 impressions per hour in case of Solna. When a printing plate is made, the printing image is rendered ink-receptive and water-repellent, while the non-printing areas are rendered water-receptive and ink-repellent. The ink is distributed to the plates through a series of rollers.

On the press, the plates are dampened, first by water rollers, and then ink rollers. The rollers distribute the ink from the ink fountain onto the plates. The image area of the plates picks up ink from the ink rollers. The water rollers keep the ink off of the non-image areas of the plate. Each plate then transfers its image to a rubber blanket that in turn transfers the image to paper. The plate itself does not actually touch the paper. All of this occurs at a high speed. During the process the machine man checks the blending of inks to maintain the colour control. Print quality is checked frequently by the press operator.

The Bindery Stage is when any trimming, folding, perforating, collating, stitching, or gluing is performed as required. Mostly, Printing Press performs the trimming and folding in-house, and works closely with an outside bindery on the collating, stitching and gluing.
A typical job such as an 8.5 x 11 newsletter may include:1 A post press cut2 A half fold3 A double parallel fold
For the purpose of this feasibility, this process will be outsourced because the process is labor intensive and to perform the process in-house the business requires steady orders of binding.
44..44 RRaaww MMaatteerriiaallImported as well as local paper and board is being used by the industry. Imported paper isnormally used in annual reports, brochures, catalogues, prospectus and visiting cards etc. Imported paper is readily available in local markets. Mostly, the business is done on just in time (JIT) concept due to readily availability of the raw material, but it is recommended that some amount of raw material inventory is maintained if the project is located at a distance from suppliers. From the following table it is evident that increase in production of paper is being consumed by the printing industry.

4.5.1 Off Set Lithography
The basic principle of offset printing—the dominant printing process—is simple: ink and water don't mix. Early lithographers etched images onto flat stone. These images would accept ink, while the porous stone accepted water. When ink was applied, it stayed on the greasy image area and avoided the rest of the stone.
Modern lithography uses the same concept but adds one important element. In modern presses, the image is transferred from the printing plate to a rubber blanket and then to the paper. This process is called offset printing.
Although there are many different kinds, sizes and qualities of offset presses, the basic configuration remains the same. When the printing plate is exposed, an ink-receptive coating is activated at the image area. On the press, water rollers dampen the plate, first, then by ink rollers. Ink adheres to the image area and water to the non-image area. As the cylinders rotate, the image is transferred to the blanket. Paper passes between the blanket cylinder and the image is transferred to the paper.
The major types of offset presses are sheet fed and web. In a sheet fed press, cut paper is delivered into the machine. In a web press, paper comes on a large roll and is cut after printing.
4.5.2 Web Printing
Web printing is offset lithography printing on large continuous rolls of paper known aswebs. Expensive at shorter runs, it is most commonly used for the production of newspapers, magazines and catalogues due to its speed and economy at runs over 250,000 per hour.
4.5.3 Letter Press
Formerly the standard printing process, letterpress is now largely used for specialty work such as fine art prints, books and posters. In the process, the image area is actually raised above the rest of the plate, so the image makes a physical impression on the paper. Modern letterpress uses a photo-etching technique to remove the non-image area from the plate.
4.5.4 Flexo
Modern flexography, often called flexo, is a versatile process that uses photo-etched plates. The non-image areas on these plates are etched away, leaving only the printing surface that carries the ink directly to the printing material (referred to as the substrate).
Flexo is best suited for printing on a rolled substrate other than paper such as box boards, foils, plastics, newsprint and more. Common applications for flexo include labels, tabs, corrugated boxes, cartons and newspapers.
4.5.5 Gravure
Basically, gravure turns everything in the image into halftone dots. The plate cylinder consists of tiny cells, varying in depth and width, which hold the ink. As the press runs, a blade scrapes excess ink off the surface of the plate, leaving ink only in cells. As the paper contacts the plate, the ink is transferred, reproducing type, rules, graphics, and

photographs as composites of very fine dots. Gravure is used only in very long runs, usually for publications and packaging printing.
4.5.6 Screen-Printing
In screen-printing, ink is expressed through a stretched fabric mesh by a squeegee blade to reproduce the original image onto the substrate below. A variety of materials such as paper, plastic, metal, fabric and glass can be screen-printed.
4.5.7 Waterless Lithography
Print buyers are hearing more and more about waterless offset as the process becomes more commonly used in the United States. Almost any offset printing press can be converted to run waterless if it is retrofitted with a cooling system that, among other things, helps maintain the ink's temperature. Newer presses are available with the conventional dampening system and a cooling system so that they can run waterless. Special plates must be used so that the non-image area still repels the ink.
4.5.8 Digital Printing
Unlike traditional (offset) printing presses, digital presses are made to produce short-run (1 to 5000 copies) quick-turnaround, full color jobs.
In traditional printing, your job goes from your desktop to a digital proof, to an image setter (for making film), to another proof, to a plate maker, to the printing press. But in digital printing your job goes from your desktop to a proof to plates to the press - or even directly from desktop to press.
Limitations of digital printing include limited paper size and quality of 4-color reproduction. In addition, not every printer offers digital printing options.

The project is machine oriented but skilled labour is important for success of thebusiness. Skilled machine man is required to operate the machine efficiently and effectively. Skill of machine man will result in lower wastage of paper and ink, lower maintenance cost of machines and also longer life of machines. This will enhance quality of product and timely delivery of order and hence, help in creating a good image among customers.
In Lahore, there is an institution named Poly Technique Institute for Printing and Graphic Arts affiliated with Punjab Board of Technical Education engaged solely in providing education and training in the field of printing, which is producing qualified diploma holders with sound theoretical as well as practical knowledge.

Availability of skilled labor, raw material and proximity from the customers is important for such a project. Karachi, Lahore and Faisalabad are comparatively better locations for printing project because necessary technical and skilled manpower is easily available. Secondly, good quality and sufficient quantity of raw material at competitive prices is easily available in these areas and finally, these areas have large business clusters.
88 TTHHRREEAATTSSCapital requirement for composite unit of printing press having all the facilities in house is very high with comparatively low expectation of return. That’s why this industry is fragmented and most of the units are small having little in house facilities, resulting in over dependence on outsourcing. This may decrease the likelihood of timely completion and delivery of order/job.
Paperless environment is becoming a serious threat to printing industry. Use of networked computers for communication, promotion and data transmission is increasing rapidly. Government is also promoting this culture. For example Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has made it mandatory for listed companies to maintain their web sites. A proposal is also under consideration of the Commission to allow the listed companies to place their quarterly accounts on their website instead of transmitting the same to its shareholders by post11.
