    • Facing deteriorating machines and the advance of new technologies, Argentine printing presses are closing up their shops.
      At the sorne time, a group of young designers has rediscovered this great technical innovation in the history of the written word: the typesetting printing press; but it will be difficult to learn since it has always been transmitted from master to apprentice. The last press mechanic in the country will be in charge of teaching them so that this ancient technique can withstand the passage of time.
