Johann Gutenberg, the invention and history of the printing press


The first printing press was invented by Johann Gutenberg. Johann Gutenberg developed a high-pressure technique with individual metal letters. After this invention of Gutenberg, printing was a widespread and rapidly developing sector. The first time the printing press started in the Far East. The first known printing press was made in Japan in the 8th century. Empress Shoyoko has suppressed the sacred texts of Buddhism with the Chinese alphabet in the Sanskrit language.

 

Historical development of the printing press

For the first time, a Chinese named Pi Sheng (960-1297) tried to print by pouring individual letters. Pi Sheng uses letters from porcelain to accelerate the development of the printing press. However, the reason for printing using individual letters in the multi-letter Chinese alphabet is still unclear.

 

The printing press has passed the Chinese to the Uighurs. The Uighurs are known to print from the IX century. (Finds in the Tun-Huang cave.)

 

In Europe, printing was developed especially in XV century. The Netherlands was the base of the printing press in Europe. Here, the printing technique is made with wooden molds. Wooden phrases written by the lines. He's been digging for insults. Molds are manufactured with this management. For the first time in the city of Harlem, it is believed that Lourens Janszoon Coster has been experimenting with individual letters of repression in 1430. Johann Gutenberg applied the technique of printing with metal letters in Mainz, with his apprentice fust. Gutenberg has the knowledge and accumulation of these studies and the capital of Fust. The first works of the 42 lines of the Bible were printed in 1455 years. Fust and Gutenberg have ended their partnerships as a result of things not going well. In 1462, the soldiers of the Nassau chief Psychoppo attacked the city of Mainz. The escaped producers scattered all over Europe.
