Historical Note
As of 2025,
Gato Negro Ediciones is an independent publisher located in Mexico City, Mexico.
Gato Negro Ediciones began publishing zines in 2013 using a printing method called risograph printing.
Zines are handmade publications that can focus on any topic, but particularly topics that are often ignored and overlooked by mainstream media. The low costs of creation and distribution make the format a more accessible form of publishing. While not seen as a profitable endeavor, zines are often used as a tool to build a community of individuals who share the same interests.
Risograph printing is a printing technique originating in Japan that presses ink through a stencil onto paper sheets. This method of printing uses a cold ink process and does not require the use of solvents or chemicals, making risograph printing more sustainable and environmentally friendly than traditional printing methods. Risograph prints can be made in high volumes and create prints with ink textures similar to screen printing.
