Two questions really - movable type was Gutenberg but the press is credited to Caxton, using carved or etched blacks and came first.
Johannes Gutenberg developed the printing press with movable metal type in the 15th century. His creation revolutionized the world of printing and greatly increased the speed at which books could be produced.
Johannes Gutenberg.
The answer is Johannes Gutenberg.
Johann Gutenberg
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.
he was known for developing a printing press that used movable metal type
Johannes Gutenberg is credited with developing the printing press with movable metal type in the 15th century. This invention revolutionized printing and made it easier and faster to produce books and other printed materials.
Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press with movable metal type in the mid-15th century, around 1440-1450. This invention revolutionized the production of books by allowing for faster and more efficient printing, leading to the mass production and dissemination of knowledge.
The movable type printing press allowed for faster and more efficient printing by using individual metal letters that could be rearranged for each page. This breakthrough revolutionized publishing by making it easier to produce books in larger quantities, speeding up the distribution of knowledge and ideas.
The printing press was developed in the mid 15th century by Johannes Gutenberg. Gutenberg also invented a process for mass producing movable type.
Gutenberg invented the movable- type printing press in 1440.
Johannes Gutenberg is credited with inventing the printing press with metal movable type in 1455 AD. This innovation revolutionized the way books were produced and disseminated, leading to a major advancement in the spread of knowledge and information during the Renaissance.
Printing Press
The printing press was developed in the late middle ages by Johannes Gutenberg around the year 1440. This, together with another not entirely clear development (probably using a hand mould) by Gutenberg that made the mass production of movable type practical, introduced modern printing to Europe.
Johann Gutenberg developed the printing press, reducing the cost of printing books and thus allowing ordinary people to have access to previously expensive books.
