Reputation

He has been characterized as "very reputable," and one of the "busiest and most prestigious printers in London" in his generation. Ben Jonson chose Stansby for the task of printing his 1616 folio precisely for the quality of Stansby's workmanship and his willingness to meet Jonson's standards and demands.
