The Invention of Printing Press

We should not take the printing press for granted because there are huge efforts and hard works involved, which had made the invention of today’s printing press possible. The magazines, posters, cards, books and every other such material have just become possible because of the printing press.

Life wouldn’t have been so convenient and beautiful without the facility of the printing press. Now, if we need to print a book, a poster, a wedding and birthday card or any marketing material, we directly go for the facility of the printing press companies. These modern printing companies are doing all the printing around the world.

How was life before Printing Press?

One can imagine how slow and how inconvenient life would have been without the facility of the printing. The advertising, infotainment, entertainment and education facilities would have been restricted and non-worthy. That will have been the worst thing if we think about it in today’s context.

Manually Printed:

Before the arrival of the printing press, the printing was done manually by hands. The people who were involved in this work used to work silently in a separate room. They were required to measure the length of the paper and make an impression on wood or stone for it accordingly.

It was a very time taking and hard work. It was so difficult procedure that’s why the number of copies of a product produced was very less. Most of the time the religious stuff was printed, which was then purchased and owned by the rich people of the society.

Available to Rich Ones:

So the access to education and religious stuff was only easily made available to the rich people. Those who belonged to the middle and lower class family of the society were far away from such a facility. So in simple words, the things were reserved and restricted to a special society only.

Johann Guttenberg:

The evolution stated when Guttenberg first invented the concept of the printing press. Many people around the world then adopted it and suddenly from there the improvements started which brought us to the latest printers with advanced and high-speed technology.

Conclusion:

The facility which we have got in the shape of today’s latest printing press has all become possible because of the Johann Guttenberg’s step toward establishing the first-ever printing press. The printing in all around the world has been emerged just because of him.
