History of printing

Printing is defined as the process and result of reproducing texts and images, usually with ink on paper According to research, it was the Chinese who started printing on paper in the 7th century, and in 868 the Diamond Sutra was created, the first complete printed book.

The first printing system with mobile types is said to have been devised by Pi Sheng in China around 1040. This printing device consisted of movable metal parts to produce prints, which made the printing process more efficient and flexible.

Then, in the 13th century, the Koreans created a mobile printing device with types of metal, in which they applied the pigeonholing method that was used in the casting of coins.

Although the prints were used for decorative purposes, it was Johannes Gutenberg, who was a German craftsman and inventor, who invented an innovative press printing machine that used movable types.

Already in 1452, this gentleman began printing his most famous project, the Gutenberg Bible. The Gutenberg printing press was the standard until the 20th century. By 1800, Englishman Earl Stanhope invented a cast iron printing press, which was capable of producing cleaner and more vivid prints.

Today, printing mainly uses computers, and modern printers can produce prints at a much more efficient rate and in a shorter time, than were used in the past. More can now be printed in a single second than in a year during the 15th century. This indicates that there is still a lot ahead for the history of printing, Since with technology, digital printing has developed and gained a lot of ground compared to lithographic printing.
