- "Recent events have certainly proved the necessity for such a journal, in which may be voiced the opinions, of different sections of the trade, from the wage-earners' point of view . . . to be genuinely representative of printing-house employes, whose interests it will be its chief duty to defend" (qtd. in Harrison 434)
- "Others have been before us--have quickly come, as quickly gone. A comparison, however, will convince our readers that the scope of this journal is wider and more representative than any of its predecessors. To the trade journals now extant Print does not enter the lists as a rival: its price, its style, its aims commend it to a larger and more democratic clientèle" (vol. 1, no. 1, 1896, p. ?)
- "It will be seen that we make no attempt at an artistic production. Print will be plainly, but well printed, without any elaborate display of American or German types and borders" (vol. 1, no. 1, 1896, p. ?)
