" In 1542, his heirs secured a renewal or an enrollment of their privileges, by which they were entitled to charge a quarter of a real for each printed sheet, and to receive an allowance of one hundred per cent upon all books imported from Europe, in consideration for the main- tenance of their press in the New World. But the Mexican office, de- prived of the oversight and direction of the Sevillian master printer, appears to have deteriorated to some extent in the years following his death. Th...e prompt supply of paper from Europe was neglected, resulting in the temporary stoppage of the press in Mexico, and other signs show that the business suffered from the absence of active inter- ested management. As a result of these circumstances, the heirs of Cromberger were induced to exchange their printing plant for other forms of American investment, and the type and press became the property of Juan Pablos. The negociations must have lasted over three years, from the end of 1544, when Cromberger's name appeared for the last time in an American imprint, until 1548, when that of Pablos was used for the first time.
