Block printing was done by using individual letter 'stamps' to create pages of writing without any need for handwriting.

Block printing is the direct predecessor to the pruinting press, which used printing blocks arranged and then (using a wine press) printing pages at a time. The printing press is the predecessor of modern day printers.
