History

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

By the year 1945, more than 1,500 students had completed their studies at the school.

The first school building was located in Gundulićeva 10. Soon, the school acquired 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 its current location Getaldićeva 2 in 1951.

11000 students have graduated there to date.
