These are the reasons why the invention of the printing press a landmark in the history of mankind ​:

1. Printed books at first closely resembled the written  manuscripts in appearance and layout.

2. The metal letters imitated the ornamental handwritten styles.

3. Borders were illuminated by hand with foliage and other  patterns, and illustrations were painted.

4. In the books printed for the rich, space for decoration was kept  blank on the printed page.

5. Each purchaser could choose the design and decide on the painting  school that would do the illustrations.

6. The books could also be printed at a faster rate than before.

7. As copying was expensive labories and time consuming booksellers no longer had to employ scribes to write their books.
