History of Printing Machinery

The printing press is a tool used to double the use of artificial dokomen print letters that move. The first printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg (Mainz, Germany). Some mentioned that the printing press is the greatest invention throughout 2,000 years. Printing machine can print counterfeit documents more than just a few weeks that had been produced by hand for life. The printing press made a literate society and allow for education. Scientific revolution depends on the existence of many scientists who record and disseminate their findings. The printing press allowed the scientists and physicists to read the documents before the discovery of the inventors. The printing press has made significant and fundamental changes in the structure, ideas, and activities people.

History of Invention Machine Print

Copying documents has always been a hand job (usually done by the pastor). The books are produced with difficult and slow, and the price is too expensive. To make matters worse, a copy of which was made by hand is easy to make mistakes. Each new copy can be sure of an error.

The answer to the problem is mold. Mold begins in the land of the great wall of China. In 1040, Pi Sheng found the mold by using the letters of the original print made from a kind of soil. Pi Sheng was the actual inventor of printing letters that can move. More mengesankanya again, the West is only able to make prints that scored with 26 letters, while Pi Sheng has made more than 5,000 Chinese characters for cetakanya of land. In 1403, King Htai Tjong of Korea found the metal block letters (more robust and more efficient than the mold of the ground work of Pi Sheng). But he has not developed a printing system using the cetakanya letters.

How to Printing Machinery Found?

Unclear how Johannes Guttenberg found and how he assembles from others that already exist. Historians believe that he who developed the printing press in the world and believes that he has found a new technology.

Guttenber born in a beautiful city, Mainz, Germany. Around 1440, nearing the age of 50, he began to develop his ideas about the printing press. He spent the next decade for solving the three basic needs of the printing press.

First, he took presses. Guttenberg presses modeling of heavy presses used to squeeze the olives. He modify and strengthen the back pressure so he can squeeze into a horizontal bawh easily pass through the entire page.

Second, he needs ink. The pastors and ordinary painter using water ink. Guttenberg consult with renowned pelukasi (including Van Dyke) and decided to use the oily ink commonly used by painters and color pigments that have tested the new painters. With this new ink, Guttenberg get sharper lines and molds thicker than water ink.

Lastly, Guttenberg requires moving the metal mold. Guttenberg metal mold is the biggest donation in the world of printing. He spent many years experimenting with various types of metal, for metal that has a lower point so as to print the letters with ease. However, these metals also have to be strong to be able to withstand the pressure and produce thousands of prints. In 1450, he had a steady pick of tin mixed with a little silver antimony premises.

Around the year 1452, Guttenberg printing press was ready to work. He borrowed 800 guilders to buy paper, ink pigem, oil, tin, silver, antimony, and other needs. He started to print his first book entitled The Great Line 42 Guttenberg Bible (42 refers to the number of lines on each page of text). When the first page is ready and print tested to ensure that all of the letters have been fulfilled and the viscosity of the ink on the right, then he began to print 300 copies of that page.

The first page is completed. Guttenberg then unload 3,000 to 4,000 letters from the page. He cleans and letters that do not fit into the crate. Now he was ready to work to print the second page. This process was repeated 1,282 times and not take years to print 300 copies of each page of the Bibelnya. This copy if done manually by hand will be completed over 1,200 years, is not a very long time.
