'''The Print Mint, Inc.''' was a major publisher and [[Direct market|distributor]] of [[underground comix]] based in the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] during the genre's late 1960s-early 1970s heyday. Starting as a retailer of psychedelic [[poster]]s, the Print Mint soon evolved into a publisher, printer, and distributor. It was "ground zero" for the psychedelic poster. The Print Mint was originally owned by poet Don Schenker and his wife Alice, who later partnered in the business with Bob and Peggy Rita.<ref>{{cite news|interviewer-link=Gary Groth|interviewer-last=Groth |interviewer-first=Gary |url=http://www.tcj.com/an-interview-with-victor-moscoso/ |title=An Interview with Victor Moscoso |work=[[The Comics Journal]] |number=246 |date=Sep 2002}}</ref>
