More of an accolade, or recognition of competency, it’s the same as calling someone a Master Craftsman.

I would agree with Dave, more of an accolade bestowed upon one by others in recognition of consistency in fine printing. Now, one might ask, what is a fine print What I consider a fine print, others may disagree. Interpretation goes a long way.

Today the meaning is somewhat different in that people call a work of art a masterpiece when it is considered the absolute finest work from an artist. The concept of a master printer in my book is one who has served their apprenticeship whether formally or not, and has attained a high degree of competancy in producing prints to the highest standards. I'm sure there are a few on this forum who aren't recognised as such. Last edited by Argentum; 26th November 2011 at 08:06 PM. |

In the (litho) print industry, a master printer was one who employed anyone else... Shall we say that a master printer is one who happens to be better than we are.....sigh.
