150 years promoting Gutenberg's invention

There was a time when visiting cards were not mass-produced, basic digital prints for handing out. Back then even an annual festival programme contained ink engravings in relief, with pretty Modernista-style borders that offered a visual and tactile experience to whoever received it. Those in charge of the Baltasar 1861 printers are lucky enough to have the know-how and ability to use these and many of the techniques used in the trade from its beginnings to the present day. With 5 generations of artisans running the business, the Sant Andreu printers have the honour of being the oldest printing house in Catalonia!
