Any business is "workable" provided you work hard and know where is your core market.
The printing business is still a sustainable business although competition is high. For a start target your potential customers or clients on the
property companies, reason being that
1) They have a huge network of agents printing namecards.
2) Large quantity of flyers, brouchure printing is required.
Target them by approaching individual agents first and then suggest an incentive scheme for them if they recommend other agent...etc
You can start by being a broker (meaning you outsource printing job to other printer) so you just mark up whatever price the printer charge you. Of course you will get a better price if you pay cash..
You do not need a office first as you will ususally meet your clients in their office as yours is not a showroom type business. As long as your price is reasonable and your serviuce is good..There will be business..
