The Printing Press worked by pressing a surface coated in ink and a medium, that would be paper and or cloth.
How has this invention changed through the years? How has its purpose changed throughout the years?
The Printing Press first changed in 1816 when it became the iron hand press. It then became mechanized and would run the medium through two cylinders to press the ink to the paper or cloth. Next created was the roll press, that could produce up to 30,000 pressed pages every hour. The purpose is the same as it was in the renaissance, used to create books and pretty much anything you would like to ink to paper or cloth.
