When you look at a printer today, you will see a small compact device that will fit on your desk, unless you have a commercial printer. This invention can copy, fax, and print documents from your computer. The history of printers goes way back in time and we would like to share it with you.
Block Printing- Dating back thousands of years, block printing is among the oldest printing styles. The process involves carved materials that are covered in ink to be pressed against paper. Back in the day, these blocks were carved by hand, so it was very time-consuming.
Printing Press- Even though the idea for the printer started way before with block printing, the first printing press was invented in 1440 by Johannes Gutenberg.
Modern Printers- The first high-speed printer was created in 1953 by Remington-Rand. Thus began the beginning of modern printing that we are familiar with today.
With this summary, we hope you can see how far printing has come over time. There is still progress that can be made with 3D printing.
