The changes in print technology in the last 100 years and their consequences are written below:

STAGE 1 - Woodblock printing

  • The Tang dynasty was in power in China in the sixth century. A system of printing using wooden matrices that were engraved, inked, and pressed onto a sheet of paper was one of many innovations to come from this great empire.

STAGE 2 - Movable-type printing

  • We've reached one of the most significant moments in printing history: the introduction of movable type. And once more, China was the source of this invention. Movable clay type was created by the printer Bi Sheng in 1041. Its disadvantage was that it broke easily. The printing quality was enhanced in 1298 by the invention of Wang Zhen, who used much stronger wooden type and created a sophisticated system of rotating tables.

STAGE 3 - The rotary press

  • Let's advance once more, to the year 1843. The first rotary press was created by Richard March Hoe in the United States in 1846 and was patented in 1847. Before William Bullock introduced a press that was fed by a paper roll in 1863, this system was initially manually fed with single sheets. The images to be printed were then curved around rotating cylinders.

STAGE 4 - Offset printing

  • Robert Barclay created the offset press in 1875 to print on metal. Ira Washington Rubel later modified the technology for paper in 1904. The repulsion between oil and water, a very basic chemical phenomenon, is the foundation of this indirect printing technique.

STAGE 5 - the linotype machine

  • Ottmar Mergenthaler, a German inventor, created the linotype, a typesetting device, in 1885. This system's benefit was that it generated lines of type automatically. It functioned similarly to a typewriter in that the user composed lines of text by pressing various keys on a keyboard.

STAGE 6 - The laser printer

  • The Xerox Corporation created laser technology in 1971. The content that needs to be printed on a sheet of paper is created electronically and printed directly there on a laser printer.

STAGE 7 - 3D printing.

  • We've arrived at the present. Our journey through time comes to an end in the 3D printing era. Various technologies exist today for 3D printing.
