Because it made it possible to produce books quickly and cheaply .
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.
William Caxton's printing press was important because the only books wrote in England were by monks because they were the only ones that could read and write therefore books would take ages to write and the spelling would differ from book to book because different people were writing them. so the printing press was important because more books could be printed in and be less time consuming and would not cost as much money which means a bigger profit. William Caxton didn't actually invent the printing press the Chinese did in 600 something AD.
The movable type of printing press was important for publishing because all the type can be cast, without the need to carve them. This machine was invented by Johannes Gutenberg.
Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press by combining existing technologies, such as movable type and the wine press, to create a machine capable of printing text on paper. He also developed oil-based ink that could be used on the press, allowing for more efficient and high-quality printing. His invention revolutionized the spread of information and played a key role in the development of the Renaissance, Reformation, and scientific revolution.
His dad printing and selling books so he made a printing press.
because he potatoes on the ground and made the printing press
He invented the Printing press because before the printing press they wrote books by hand and they took for ever to finish 1. So they were really rare and only the people that were rich could afford to bye books so only the rich ones could read. Then when Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press everyone could bye books and eventually it spread through out Europe . The printing press could print 31 pages before you could write 3 pages .
before the printing press was upgraded by gutenberg, it was very hard to get a book. The printing press help make books cheaper so more people could afford them and read and discover the ideas inside the book.
No. Printing presses have been around for centuries. The biggest improvement in them came when Johannes Gutenberg (who lived 1400 - 1468, 236 years before Benjamin Franklin was born) was the first European to develop printing with movable type.
The moveable type of the printing press allowed for faster and easier printing of books, newspapers, and other materials. This innovation revolutionized the way information was disseminated and made publishing more efficient and accessible to a wider audience.
Because, before it's invention all books had to be handwritten, and so only the wealthy could buy them. But once printing was invented, books became much easier to make, and therefore cheaper, so more people could have them.
because it use to take 100 years to print one book but Johann the amazing man that invented the printing press came to a solution Than its takes a couple of hours to print on book back in the renaissance >......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> thank you
