History

In 1886 two printers completed their apprenticeship. Eight years later in 1894 a group of 19 book printers finished their education. By decision of the Teachers' Council 1894 is considered the year of establishment of the school.

By the year 1945 more than 1500 students finished school.

The first school building was located in Gundulićeva 10. Soon the school got a part of a building where Museum of Arts and Crafts is located today. The main directorate of the graphics industry donated printing machinery, devices and furniture to the school. It moved to the current location Getaldićeva 2 in 1951.

11000 students have graduated to date.
