Protopaper is an independent publishing company 
that integrates printing, publishing and distribution. 
It is a pioneering platform for promoting youth culture 
in the ancient city of Xi'an.
Protopaper hopes to tap, practice 
and disseminate the value of handmade prints 
and more possibilities at different levels 
to turn all the printed texts 
and images into real objects, 
including but not limited to 
fiction, poetry, comic books, photo books, posters, Magazine (zine), 
and the design and exploration of printing peripheral derivatives.
Since our establishment, we occasionally host workshops, small solo exhibitions, 
and sell physical prints from other publishing houses 
to help top independent publishers promote their work 
and spread the independent publishing culture to a wider audience.
