So what is actually a printer's model note? Very lucky I found the discussion on this lot in FB, and Mr. Hann Boom from Trigometric had give a well explanation on what is the Printer's Model Note, below are the explanation from Mr. Hann Boom in FB discussion which it helps us to understand what Printer's Model is.
The best way to understand a “Printer’s Model” is to think of it like an “Art”, because it is most likely hand executed. These notes are pieced together by hand and presented in a cardboard or paper showing a variety of designs, for the purpose of final approval, or it could mean the start of a new design being brain stormed. Some printer’s models are hand painted, in which case it will have become an “Artist’s Rendition”, which is also a printer’s model by categorisation.
There are a few ways to identify a “Printer’s Model”.
First. Any notes mounted or stuck on a card board can be classified as a printer’s model. Sometimes the card stock can be cut down, just like the one shown. But most of the time, the card stock will be several times larger than the actual note, this is because they are retained so that the printer or designer can make annotations around the border of the note for the purpose of changes and different opportunities.
Second. Any hand executed essays or composite essays, pieces of different important design aspects of a banknote, either glued together, or mounted on the banknote paper, can also be considered as a “Printer’s Model”.
Most important aspect of this is the different pieces of designs such as border, denomination, signature, or portraits etc, being attached together by adhesive onto the note itself.
Very interesting part of an area for collection to be honest because Printer’s Model is usually unique and one of a kind. Very easily identifiable through its special never before seen designs of a possible issue. Truly like an art if anyone asks.
I hope this helps!
