printery
Book production facility
A printery is an establishment where printing is done, essentially a synonym for print shop or printing house.
The term is somewhat old-fashioned but remains in use, particularly for smaller commercial printing operations or historical references to early printing establishments.
The old printery on Main Street still produces letterpress wedding invitations.
