The Printers of Mexico City

Both on the Plaza Santo Domingo and just behind it, one can find a brisk business being done by printers still using hand powered printing machines that must be 100 years old. No matter what your printing need is, from business cards to wedding and birthday invitations, you can commission one of dozens of small kiosks for your job large or small.

Due to the unique opportunity presented here, I had my own trajeta personal or card made up for less than it would have cost in the States. Although I shopped around, most of the prices were similar and all of the printers were equally friendly and eager to have my business.
