For me according to the rates of the inflation that has hit our country, the prices of everything has been hicked up and if I can estimate the prices for the printing press I can keep a budget of like $5000

I don't think $5000 can start a good printing press. The DI machines and every other thing needed like computers systems are all very expensive.

Printing press business is a lucrative business but capital intensive project. You must have unds to aquire equipment for the printing work if you want to practice full scale printing business.
However, if you cannot afford it, it means you have to depend on those full scale operators to handle the work and you Are paid on commission for the job brought.

I think one can even start such business at a lesser rate than that. Just like you said, the machines are what makes it more expensive to start.
The machines are high tech machines and are very expensive. Almost every kind of printing has a special machine made for it. It is capital intensive.

Everything depends on the capacity which you want to run your printing press which I am sure for the least minimum standard business running operation setup for a printing press, you should be looking at at least $6000.

You would actually need a lot to startup this business though, unless you want to make use of other printing press to print jobs for your customers, but there would not be much profit it that method.

You will need a lot of money to start up this type of business and the amount to use will also be subjective to the size of the business..

It depends on what kind of printing press you want to have. My father once owned a printing press and it cost him $100,000 about 20 years ago. I do not know the current price.
