Find print and xerox shops near MCC, bengaluru

About this place

Mount Carmel College has occupied a leafy stretch of Palace Road since the late 1940s, and the campus still carries the calm, old-Bengaluru feel of the era when Vasanthnagar was lined with bungalows rather than apartment blocks. Run by the Congregation of Carmelite Sisters of St. Teresa, the college is best known for its undergraduate programmes in English literature, psychology, economics, journalism, and commerce, alongside a postgraduate school of social work. About 5,000 students rotate through the grounds each year, and the surrounding streets on Palace Road and behind Cunningham Road have quietly grown to absorb their daily needs. Three pin codes — 560001, 560052, and 560051 — anchor the neighbourhood, and 25 listed xerox and print shops operate within easy walking distance of the main gate.

Getting here and around

The closest metro stop is Sampige Road on the Green Line, about a fifteen-minute walk south through the smaller lanes that spill off Palace Road. BMTC buses along the Vasanthnagar loop are the backbone of student commutes, and auto-rickshaws cluster near the main entrance whenever classes let out. Two-wheeler parking inside the campus is limited, so most students chain their scooters to the iron railings along Sankey Road or hire a monthly pass from one of the small lots on Cunningham Cross. Cars are rare among undergraduates, but the wider roads make it a calm place to drive if you do arrive by four-wheeler.

Why printing demand is high here

Every department from English to commerce sets internal submission deadlines that fall outside the official exam window, and students often juggle three or four printed assignments in a single week. The college's reputation for rigorous documentation in psychology and journalism courses pushes students toward spiral-bound and soft-bound printouts rather than loose sheets. Internship season pulls in another wave of demand between August and November, when placement cells circulate printed handouts and CVs are revised dozens of times. With 25 listed shops around the campus, students rarely have to walk more than a couple of minutes to find a working printer, which is why the queue at Marali Enterprises tends to spill onto the pavement on submission mornings.

What people typically print here

Assignments and lab reports in Times New Roman 12 are the daily staple, followed by spiral-bound dissertations from the final-year social work and journalism batches. Cover-page printing on coloured card stock, often with lamination, runs heavy at the start of every semester. CVs, internship application letters, and government ID photocopies for scholarship forms fill the slow hours, while seminar posters are an occasional but lucrative job for shops that offer A3 colour printing.
