It was in invented in china and first used there as well.
GUTENBERG
Germany in the 1440s. Simpler methods using block printing had been used in China, but the mechanical press was only invented later in Europe.
Gutenberg could show that the printing press was not an invention of the devil if it was used for the printing and supply of Bibles. His life was safe.
Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the first mechanical movable-type printing press around 1440. This press used separate metal letters that could be rearranged to print different texts, revolutionizing the process of printing and mass communication.
The printing press was invented before the Americas were discovered. The same kind that were used in Europe were simply made in America once people wanted them there. The first printing press in Europe was built by a German goldsmith named Johannes Gutenberg. He made it around 1440 and the first book he printed was the Bible.
In the late 1440s Johann Gutenberg developed printing by movable type. (Printing using wood blocks and so on was already well known).Note that printing by movable type was already known in Korea.He invented the printing press in 1454.Gutenberg did not invent the printing press, the printing press he used was a modified lithography press that already existed. What he invented was movable type, which greatly sped up the process of setting up the press for printing.
1476, in Westminster, London He used it to print the Canterbury Tales as one of his first productions.
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.
