Gutenburg's experience in metalworking as a goldsmith made it possible for him create the key element of movable lead type. With sets of movable type set up on a modified cheese or wine press, Gutenberg was able to print a page at a time, which proved much quicker than teams of scribes copying documents by hand, one letter at a time.
